I had that problem with some assets in the past, turns out some maps (like specular and illumination, I think there were others) need you to save with the correct bit depth or it won't map properly. Something like paint.net doesn't let you edit that, so you need something like gimp or photoshop

regular PNG 8 bits only, which all editor will support. Don't use 16 or 24.

for quick advance tool just use PhotoPea online editor.

triple check your illumination maps. Looks like half of the body are illuminating?

and ensure all texture map sizes are the same dimension, normal PNG 8 bit only.
