for some bizzare reason, futura controller and futura controller purple do actually successfully connect to actual ae2 controller blocks but not to eachother

i checked and this issue is not present in 1.12

i investigated a little and found the ctm defenitions in assets\chisel\textures\block\futura, it was in files lines_plating.png.mcmeta, rainbow_lines.png.mcmeta, unity_lines.png.mcmeta, unity_lines_plating.png.mcmeta:

and i was like "maybe they dont actually use numeric IDs for variations anymore" so i tried changing that part to

{ "block": "chisel:futura/controller_purple"},
{ "block": "chisel:futura/controller"},
{ "block": "appliedenergistics2:controller" }

but that didnt work. removing the whole entire "connect_to" block would most likely work because its like an overwrite but obviously not ideal because while it could connect to itself it would no longer connect to others. how would this be actually fixed?
