EOS Rebel T7 won't fire strobe via Godox X3 S trigger

[rynsthetic]

So I recently purchased a godox x3 s trigger for my sk400ii. It connects to my strobe fine but won’t trigger when I shoot on my camera (eos rebel t7). It seems that it’s not even connected to my camera at all when I slide it into the hot shoe, I believe that may be the issue. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, should I try an adapter? I’m pretty new to the game honestly, any help would be much appreciated!

If you exchange the X3S for a X3C, you will probably be alright. 

The Godox X3C is compatible with the Canon E-TTL II system. Most 3rd party E-TTL units wil also work with a T7 that lacks the center flash pin.(but not always)

Hoping that’s the case! Thank you!
