Legendary Fins textures won't load on Daz Dragon 3

I plan to use my Dragon 3 models in Blender in the future for a project I have in the long run, but since I started editing my dragons the textures for the Legendary Fins simply won't load! The models load just fine and the textures work on the wing membranes, but the fins? Nope, and I have no idea why or how to fix it as I am still a noob in Daz Studio. Originally my problem here was the fins not loading in blender as no matter what I did (converted to Blender or exported the model as various formats), the fins simply wouldn't load in blender until I tried importing it as a COLLADA file, then it worked. But the texture problem still persists and the Legendary Fins simply don't have PNG or JPG texture files that I can use in Blender. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to make those textures load?

Moved to Techncial Help as it is a product question rather thana Daz Studio question.
Is this what you are using https://www.daz3d.com/legendary-wings-fins-hd-for-daz-dragon-3 ? Are you sure you have the right fins loaded and fitted? Have you checked Help>Troubleshooting>View Log file for more information after trying to use the materials?
Sorry for not putting it on technical help. Anyway, I am perfectly sure I had the right fins loaded and fitted. The way it works is that you load the wing and the fins and whatever texture you choose is supposed to work for all of them. Where do I see that help panel? I haven't tried it.
Help should be the last point in the overall menu.
If you don't see that try to attach a screenshot of your Daz Studio window.
If you are loading both from a container tied to the product then they should be the right fins. Have you checked the log file (Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File)?
Here's the log file after I once again tried to unssuccessfully load the textures. The think is that the textures that should work on the wings won't load, and the textures that should work on the fins only work on the wings.
I just randomly got the option to apply the wing materials to specific attachments and when I did it the wing texture worked, but I don't know how to repeat this process. Does anyone here know how can I select which attachments I will apply a specific material?
Initially you were applying materials without having loaded the models, that would certainly fail to do anything.
How did I fail to load the models if the fin models appeared in the dragon?
I don't know, unless it was preloaded (but that is unlikely with an add-on and the base figure) - I am just going by what is listed as being loaded in the session that the log applied to.
Do you know have an idea as to how that menu that allowed me to apply the texture to the wing popped up? That might allow me to apply the textures but I don't know how to activate it.
Edit: Never mind, I just found out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't manually selecting the specific surfaces that the textures would be applied to because I thought it was automatic. I feel dumb now, but thanks a lot for trying to help.
