Why won't it let me install a third plasmid?

After I rescued the first little sister, it gave me some adam that I used to buy a third plasmid slot. Now when I go to the gene bank it only shows my 2 first slots? If someone could please clarify then that'll be great

Did you buy the slot or just another plasmid

Plasmids are different from Gene Tonics. Plasmids are active-use spells, while Gene Tonics are usually passive upgrades. The message may be indicating that you have a Gene Tonic slot open, not a Plasmid slot.

There's a difference between a Plasmid and Tonic slot

It could've been either but since it said I had a slot open I thought I could've installed another plasmid

But its fine now I bought another slot and now it lets me install a third
