Final Cut Pro trial not showing third-party transitions

Hi, please help. I have a new Macbook M4 Pro. Since I edit videos, I wanted to try Final Cut. Because the computer is new, I took advantage of the offer to try a three-month free subscription (Creator Studio)—after three months, I would switch to an annual subscription. I'm already quite advanced in my skills and wanted to install additional transitions. I watched many tutorials... after copying them to the Transitions folder (and adding LOCALIZED to the names), Final Cut only sees the category name but does not display the transitions. I tried running the transition in MOTION and then saving it (even as a new category), but Final Cut only sees the CATEGORY. What is the reason for this? Is it because of the trial period?
