iZotope plugins

I'm asking for an opinion from someone who, like me, uses iZotope plugins. My problem is that very often the plugins change position in the effects chain and, above all, the "Sculptor" plugin automatically resets! Often without me realizing it, damn it! Has this happened to others? Is there a solution to this?

The image that you've uploaded shows that you have the Sculptor plugin added twice to the audio effects chain on the one audio event. Is there any particular reason for this? Given that it's the same VST effect added twice in the same chain on the same audio event, perhaps one Sculptor FX is negating or clashing with the other - I'm only suggesting a possibility of that without knowing for sure - perhaps one of the Sculptor FX is resetting the other to its default settings.

I do use Neutron but mainly within RX Adv where I prefer Neutron 3's Mix Assistant over 4's equivalent Mix Assistant.

Same plugin but two different settings.
I also mainly use iZotope products with Cubase or Rx11, however on many occasions I make adjustments directly during video editing.
