Why is my DT replacing LE in a Nickel formation

I run a 3-4 defense and all of a sudden i want to move mack to LE and now he is unable to play LE and when i even try to sub him as LE hes only available as LOLB and my DT takes over as a LE not even the backup LE starts

It's in the way you have your specialists setup. Some nickel sets will put them in other spots. Example in 3-3-5 your rush ends are on the line, but in 2-4-6 they are upright. If you can't sub Mack in at end anytime... he must be somewhere else already. He should always be able to come in at either end.

Its weird because i run the ravens playbook and my LE would always appear as part of the 2-4-5. Now since mack suppose to be the new LE he doesnt even appear in the sub players at LE only as a sub for the OLB and my DT replaces as a LE in general and either way i put it he still appears

Check specialist tab in lineup.

I did but if i put Mack as RLE 1 whos suppose to be my LE then in a nickel Von whos LOLB doesnt play

OLBs play the rush end on specialist tab. So Von will RLE1 and Mack plays RDT1

On the RDT1 Mack doesnt pop up there only actually d ends or d tackles
