I understand how to go into the settings and change the engage distance. The problem is it doesn't work with some mods. I am playing some cool weapon based mods but they are ruined by the fact that I have to close in which results in the tori flopping and falling over. How do I change it with these mods?

It is because those mods use ADV to modify the tori and uke position manually, to change this look at engage position, first 3 numbers are x y z for tori and 4-6 are x y z for uke
