cRIO/Solenoid/NI9472/Code Programming Problem?

Hello! We're having some trouble getting our solenoids to work. When we plug our NI9472 (Solenoid Module) into the cRIO and open the Imaging Tool, it shows that it is plugged into the cRIO (4 slot), but when we plug it into the cRIO and connect our solenoids to the Solenoid Breakout, the lights on the Module don't light up, and when we enable the Drivers Station and press all of the buttons, no solenoids fire. We have a Wago (24v, 24v solenoids) connected to our Solenoid Breakout so it is getting power. When we move the NI9472 from the third slot to the first slot (we know it's for the NI9401, but we were just testing things), 3 of the lights on the NI9472 lit up, so we know that the Module works, but the lights don't light up when the NI9472 are in the 3rd or 4th slots of our cRIO. This doesn't make sense to us, considering the fact that we used the same cRIO last year and our robot from last year was mainly pneumatics based, so it worked last year, but is not working now. The solenoids we are using this year are the same ones we used from last year, so they would not be the problem. The only reasonable explanation that we can come up with is that we coded something wrong in LabVIEW, but we don't know what! We followed Team 358's guide to coding double solenoids. HELPPPPPPP! Do we have to program the module somehow, or did we code the solenoids wrong? Any suggestions are fine!
