have you assigned the equipment component to your item in your give command? (or whatever you use to give yourself the item)
Like /give @s knowledge_book[equippable={slot:"chest",asset_id:"armortest"}]

[hexed creek]

what does asset_id do

[hexed creek]

i just tried adding the asset_id part in equippable and it still doesn't display

nvm

[crisp reef]

specify which "equipment" file to use to determine what texture it will display

[hexed creek]
