RBD Constraints from Rules UI Glitch

Hey all. I have been exploring using the RBD Constraints from Rules SOP to create constraints on my vehicle, but for some reason when turning on the interface for the SOP in the viewport, the constraints seem to expand and glitch in a weird way and I do not know why.
It is also inconsistent, as sometimes I get fine line primitives connecting geometry like I am supposed to. below is an example of what I see. I am simply trying to connect a cube with wheels, and it glitches out. Anyone dealing with similar issues? Any solutions? Or am I just doing this wrong somehow?

Do you have a hipfile you can share where this happens? If not publicly, you can log a bug and attach the file there.

I actually tried to put that together a couple days ago, but as I was simplifying the project to just the vehicle and rbd setup, I noticed that I was not able to recreate the error. I am working on a much larger client project with an environment and particular vehicles models with details that I cannot put in the demo.

I have noticed that when I switched to the provided ground plane from the rbdbulletsolver sop, I do not have an issue with the constraints falling apart. But I ran into other issues when renaming the pieces of the fracture on the vehicle that seems to have broken some connections.

As of now, I will probably shelf this issue, as I have other r&d subjects to work on, and I clearly need more practice with working with rigid body dynamics on a complex level. However, if anyone else has a similar issue with the constraints from rules sop seemingly glitching out in the viewport as shown above, I would like to see how they addressed it.
