Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate stopped working

[artistx]

after upgrading my base I decided to move the "Terrestrial Agglomeration Plate" to the top of my base to be closer to the other botania items... but now it seems to not work at all.. I've assemble it correctly with the lapis/livingrock blocks... but it does not seem to take mana from anything (even a mana pool placed next to it) or any sparks.

I placed it back on the ground and several other spots but nothing seems to work... I also made sure the sparks were connected... I'm calling it a bug.. unless there's condition I'm not aware of that it needs to work.

nevermind turns out I confused mana steel with shiny ignots.... (-__-)
