Right now I have Fighting Style, Blood Hunter Order, and Blood Curses that are working. The ones not working the 4th and 5th, Primal Rites and Esoteric Rites. Is there a way to get the 4th and 5th Class Ability picks to work?
5e may have no UI logic to display that many tables. LW could have assumed they would never be needed. Or this is a bug. The best place to ask would be to put in an official bug report and see what LW says.

These Custom abilities you are adding are they a huge list of that will be added to all the time (ie new books will add new options)? You said before Primal Rite (elemental damage type) which is pre-set the elemental types. You wont be adding new elemental types in the future will you? And if more are added wouldn't they be added as a CORE feature of 5e? Meaning why not already use the Elemental Selection Helpers the community added instead?

Esoteric Rite (other damage types). Damage types are already inputted into 5e already. Wouldn't allowing a choice of all ready existing damage type be better then re-entering each and every damage type twice? Unless Damage Type in this class means something different than what is in 5e HL?

I would recommend your abilities use Custom Expressions to allow these choices then setting up Custom Abilities. This way you setup "Primal Rite" ability one time in the editor and you just bootstrap it 3 times to the class at levels 1, 6, and 11 allowing each level to pick a different elemental type.
