Kick can't find Maya Fluids data at render

Hi All, Trying to render out a cached fluid effect. It shows up in Arnold render view but when I send the .ass frames to Kick to render it gives the error below, that it can't find MayaFluids or Fluid data. Anyone know how to tell Kick where to find the fluid info? Screenshot shows render view but it renders the fluid volume as magenta.

Wanted to add that I updated MtoA to 5.4.8 and also include additional error message that Kick could resolve references to the Fluid data.Fluid_screenshot_02.jpg

I updated to MtoA 5.5.0 and Arnold 7.3.7.0 and updated Maya to 2025 and that solved the issue.
