Translucensy is deforming other part of the mesh that isn't translucent glass material

Hey there! I'm bringing my textures into Unreal along with my static mesh that has various materials. I’ve run into a problem where applying the glass textures and setting them to translucent messes up the hinges on the model. The UVs are all good and everything looks fine in Substance Designer, but once I load the material in Unreal and apply the glass texture, that’s when the issues pop up. If anyone has any tips on how to fix this, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

So before applying the material in to the mesh in engine it looks good? Interesting.
 
Perhaps you could share the assets, so the situation can be reproduced.

yes its strange. I dont understand it. I ended up baking the glass seperate. When I put in the base colour alpha into opacity in unreal, thats when I noticed it deforms. Ill collect and send to you.

if it's using nanite, turn it off and on again 

otherwise: 
its possible but really unlikely that you're hitting a precision issue qit vertex placement but I'd expect these things would have to be very small indeed for it to crop up

ok ill try that and thanks for the advice
