X3 not picking up or listing 64 Bit plugins.

Yes I'm using the x64 version before its asked. I've checked the about section just to verify something wasn't screwed up.
 
My directories goes like this
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Instruments\32 Bit Instruments\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Instruments\64 Bit Instruments\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Effects\32 Bit Effects\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
C:\Music Production\Plugins\VST Effects\64 Bit Effects\*Vendor name*\*Plugin name*\.dll
 

 
Now everything looks right in the Sonar preferences...I could of made it scan my directories at C:\Music Production\Plugins\ 
and just stop there, but I didn't feel the need to include an extra jBridge Folder when there's bit bridge. So this is My Vst preferences.
 

 
After rescan and opening the drop down menus to insert a VST I am only left with VST2 -Plugin name- (32-Bit) All are found yes.
Then also "1 VST3 plugin I know theres more VST3 plugins but thats for another time" 
and Direct X which I can care less about.
 
But nothing saying (64-Bit) at all. I was planning to use only the x64 version of X3 since it has bit bridge and I wouldn't need to open an alternate x86 version...but it seems like the whole purpose is gone here.
 

 
I'm 100% sure my x64 plugins work in other daws this way...but I could never get the plugin menus the way I want them in Sonar...there's always a area missing. Do I need to make a plugin layout? Even when I go there they are still not listed. There when I try to go under VST Configuration and click Options or Plug-in Properties I get this every time.
 

 
Some of you never have a problem with the menus, but it seems like I always do going from S4 SE, S5 SE, S8 PE, X1 - X3 PE. Can anyone help me out with this one because I am really lost on this please?
 
Oh yeah

    There's a lot more traffic in the X-series forum, but I'm sure someone spots you here as well.
    This is the <8.5 forum.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
