HELP! Part_3 not working in another environment.

I have imported the robot+table+targets into an environment that I have, and updated them to HDRP. All looks fine, part_2 publishes target pick and place poses onto ROS.

But in part_3 when I hit publish, IT DOESN'T PICK AND PLACE. I get the following messages on ROS:

Planning request received for MoveGroup action. Forwarding to planning pipeline.
Planner configuration 'arm' will use planner 'geometric::RRTConnect'. Additional configuration parameters will be set when the planner is constructed.
RRTConnect: Starting planning with 1 states already in datastructure
[ERROR] RRTConnect: Unable to sample any valid states for goal tree
RRTConnect: Created 1 states (1 start + 0 goal)
No solution found after 5.009935 seconds
Unable to solve the planning problem
Fail: ABORTED: No motion plan found. No execution attempted.

for the unity robotic project is it required to put it on the C drive ? My C drive is full so i forced to put my project in the D drive and it's doesnt work

good morning sir, I have a question about connecting between Unity and ROS:
In step "roslaunch niryo_moveit part_2.launch" I could not even get the coordinate in the ROS powershell.
I suppose that is because my Unity is not being connected to ROS. Have you ever experienced the same error before ?
If so, may I ask you how to solve this ?
Thank you very much !
