Extension blocks only appearing in Any Components category

MIT App Inventor Help

Hello everyone,
I have been working on an app in App Inventor recently (I am familiar with App Inventor), and I wanted to try using an extension.
I used Taifun's Image extension since I'm using the camera component and needed to flip it back 90deg, and for some reason there are no "specific" blocks.
Clicking on the "TaifunImage1" component in the block editor shows that there are no blocks to use, however when I look under Any TaifunImage, it shows me the blocks - but they all have "for component" sockets that I can't fill with anything.

To add to this, I've tried other extensions, related to adding styling to the app views, and they behave similarly. If I don't fill the "for component" socket, it simply throws the error "You need to provide a valid component to this block's 'undefined' socket".
To sum up, how can I either fill the "for component" socket, or how can I get component-specific blocks that are added by extensions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't look in the anycomponent blocks section, look in the Taifun Image section.

Also check that you have your blocks toolkit set to Default

In the project properties set the toolkit to default
Taifun
