Outfits not persisting properly - visual changes don't match character data

Having issues with qb-clothing where saved outfits apply visually but don't stick to the character. When a player loads a saved outfit, it shows up on their model temporarily but then reverts back to default after certain events (death, relog, etc.).

The outfit management seems to work initially - players can save and load outfits fine, but something's not syncing properly between what they see and what gets stored in their character data. Other players might catch glimpses of the outfit before it disappears.

Here's the server-side handler I'm working with:

RegisterNetEvent('qb-clothing:server:loadOutfit', function(outfitId)
    local src = source
    local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(src)
    local outfitData = Player.PlayerData.outfits[outfitId]
    TriggerClientEvent('qb-clothing:client:loadOutfit', src, outfitData)
end)

Anyone run into similar outfit persistence issues? Wondering if there's something I'm missing about how outfit data gets tied to the actual character versus just the temporary session.
