[Paragon assets] Can't retarget Shinbi Animation BP to other paragon humanoids

I’m trying to retarget Shinbi Anim BP to Countess. I’m tried following these tips: UE4 Tutorial - Paragon Character Retarget onto the Third Person Template in under 10 minutes! - YouTube just to know how retargeting works. Since both skeletons use “Paragon_Proto_Retarget” Rig I understand that selection Humanoid default RIG is not necesary for both skeletons to be able to see each other for the retargeting feature:

But when I try to do it, I can’t find the Countess skeleton (Shinbi_Anim_Blueprint > Retarget Anim Blueprints > Duplicate Anim Blueprints and Retarget)

I checked both Shinbi and Countess “Paragon_Proto_Retarget” Rig and compared bone hierarchy and names, and they are both the same.

My goal here is to use Shinbi’s Anim BP for Countess so I can play use that character as a Pawn.

Anbody know what am I doing wrong? Kinda new to UE4 and there are things I’m constantly learning.
Thanks in advance!

Well, since no one gave an answer to this, I’m going to reply to myself just in case someone needs the answer:
Just disable “Show only compatible skeletons” and other skeletons will appear. Paragon skeletons will work since they share the same hierarchy but I don’t know about others.

I still don’t know why it doesn’t appear since they both are similar.

I though they updated the assets so now you have basic bp animations

I just downloaded TwinBlaster and put him in a project with the 3rd person character. The third person character runs to a point, TwinBlaster just slides there. I don’t think they’ve included anything other than their spawn animation. When you hit play, he does his thing where he pulls out his guns, but that’s it.
