So I have a project that is a campus of 4 buildings. I created a new archicad file and am attempting to hotlink in the other PLN files. I go to file, external content, place hotlinked module and then select the file that I want to hotlink, name it, etc. It then asks me to match stories, which I do.
The building that I am trying to hotlink appears before me with a dashed box around it, the library loading report pops up, and then my hotlinked model disappears, all without me pressing anything after the match stories dialogue.
Checking the hotlink manager confirms that no hotlinked file was attached.
A few times of repeatedly doing this I got the model to show up (with textures) and it just sat there, but when I clicked inside of the window it disappeared. What is going on???

The dashed box is a "proposed" placement, and is pretty temporary. Just click outside of the box while it is still showing to get the hotlink to stay. You can move the referenced plan after it's placed.
