just load up the bars from the viewer in FCP.
bars should always be generated by the source. I see no reason not use the FCP bars.

Ho Hum
Have you done tried looking at it in the viewer and tooling with the brightness / contrast just so you know it’s there?
I suspect that the noted gamma wibbliness in and out of FCP might be smudging the issue with Plotyslop.
Also it is always, rpt, always the video monitor that should be the reference, not the computer monitor.
The colour meter app on my system registers 0,0,0 RGB for all three pluge bars on the comp monitor but on my video monitor they are there.
Try shutting your curtains, that may help, just remember to open them again.
