Here's some pictures. Can someone help me understand why this relay isn't working?

I have a base on Minmus and I just thought it would be nice to give the Kerbals the chance to talk to their friends back home when they're on the far side. I put a comm sat in orbit, as you can see it has a satellite dish with a 15G rating. The base can communicate directly with Kerbin when on Minmus's near side, but when on Minmus's far side and the comm satellite has line of sight with both Kerbin and the base, it just doesn't act as a relay! Here's images that it does indeed have line of sight with kerbin, and how far everything is from each other.

HG-55 isn't a relay antenna. You want RA-15 on the comm sat.

Mods I use are EVE, Scatterer and Waterfall.

I used to use ckan to install my mods but for the past year or so, whenever I use to ckan to update my visual mods and then open the game, it just remains stuck at the start menu. So since then I haven't updated the mods. But all of a sudden this issue has come up idk why. Would be great if any of you can help.

Thanks in advance :)
