[1.8-1.11.2] Missing textures for Research Papers

[MJRLegends]

Is there an actual fix for this or will i just have to remove it? i have been looking trough the files, found the textures, made a resourcepack just so i could have the textures show up, yet they do not.
i frankly don't understand code at all, but what i seemed like the issue may stem from the fact that there is 1 texture that seemingly is meant to be used on all 44 different research notes (in my case) yet fails to recognize any of them.
this extends to the resourcepack where i tried different options of getting it to understand (planetprogression:research_paper_xx, research_paper, research_paper_x)
so am i better off deleting this mod or can i do something? maybe i missed something

i also used java decompiler and ATlauncher to look at things more thorougly, mostly noticed this :
] MultiModel minecraft:builtin/missing is empty (no base model or parts were provided/resolved)
i did not see anything with "builtin/missing" in the json's i did however see "builtin/generated" so maybe this generation does not work.
and it's not just the Research papers it is also the sattelite launch pad, where again the texture is present in the files, it does not detect them. except when you create the platform, then the middlepart actually shows the texture surrounded by 24 MT blocks
