Default Mid/Side Sidechain Compression

Hi, I was trying to do the sidechain compression between my Kick and Bass using Fab Filter ProC2. I'm using this one instead of ReaComp because I want to sidechain only the Mid part of my Bass. I did exactly the same steps as this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV05FSXIfNE

Now, the "meter" on the threshold tells me that the key input comes from my kick, but the compressor is still acting like the key input is the bass itself (like normal compression). Has anyone tried this?

PS: I'm currently using the JS Mid/Side E/D with ReaComp and it works. It's just I can't figure it out why this is happening.

1) on your sidechain track make chain like:
kanaka MS5
ReaComp
kanaka MS5 encoder
2) send from kick track 1/2 to 3/4 sidechain track
3) in ReaComp set Auxilary Input L+R
4) go to ReaComp Plugin pin connectors (right from "Param" button) and turn off output from right pin

I know this works. That's what I'm currently doing. I wanted to know why the sidechain doesn't work with Fab Filter Pro C2

Does Pro C need to be set specifically to look for the sidechain? Most plugins won't automatically pick it up.
