The Mugen Fighters Guild - Chespin char's palettes can't be reordered by editing the .def file

Hey there! First topic here I believe, I have an issue with Dylanius9000's Chespin character's palettes.
So, apparently he made it so that the normal palette for Chespin is assigned to the X button and not the A button (this one has an "Autumn" palette assigned to it). It's cool and it works, but I wanted to reorder it so that I can select the normal palette with the A button instead of the X button. Thing is, this is becoming a nightmare to do for some reason.

I've tried changing the number of the palettes in the .def file so that they swap places, like I did with many other characters I downloaded. Didn't work; orange palette still loads with A.
I've tried renaming the palettes in the character's folder so that the Autumn palette took the normal palette's place and viceversa to see if it was just an issue with the palette's names being confused. Didn't work; orange is A.
I've tried deleting the autumn palette altogether and swapping it to a different palette the character had in the folder, and this is where it gets weird; orange is still A. At this point I double checked if I was loading the correct .def file, I tried opening the character up with Fighter Factory to see if it was coloured orange by default or something like that; nope, he was green and brown as he should be.
Finally I tried looking the issue up by just trying my luck with the keywords "palette issues" and I came across a topic that said something about the "pal.default" line in the character's .def file. Having opened Chespin's .def file up, I checked to see how it was laid out, and I made sure to change it to something by the likes of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 (the character has 12 palettes). Again, no results.
I've tried redownloading the character and playing around by just deleting the autumn .act file again and just changing the loaded palettes' names to anything BUT Chespin's green colour just for good measure. And this is the weirdest thing of all; all other palettes loaded up properly in their respective buttons, EXCEPT for the first one, which still refused to change colour and was as orange as when I began trying to change him up.

At this point I'm starting to think there may be something that forces the character's palette to be orange either inside the cns files or in how the palettes were mapped in fighter factory, but I'm clueless at this point.

Here are some screenshots to illustrate my issue:

This is how the character shows up by selecting the A palette.

This is how the character should look normally, but is the fourth (X) palette; I want to switch it with the above one. It's still not working.

These are all the palettes that can be specified in the .def file (16 palettes, I'm suspicious about the numbered chespin ones though)

Here's how they're mapped.

Any and all suggestions are welcome, as I'm trying to learn as much as possible about how this all works. Thanks for reading, and nice to meet you!
