Unfortunately I did have some trouble with my previous model which lead me to making a new model which did have a few issues whilst I was creating the links but was sorted out and fixed in the end and is now linked and working.
Here is a screenshot of my model in a different pose which made possible due to the different parts of the model being linked which allowed me to change the rotation of the arms, legs, head, wrist, foot and shin.

The schematic shows all the different shapes that are named individually and shows how they are connected to each other and can be used to highlight the actual piece when clicked on if you have both screens opened.
