Script working on some objects but not others

Hey,

So I have a headscratcher, I have a ragdoll with configurable joints, each with this script attached.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ConfigurableJointProperties : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     public float strength = 10000f;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {
     
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         ConfigurableJoint configurablejoint = gameObject.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>();
         JointDrive angularYZDrive = new JointDrive();
         angularYZDrive.mode = JointDriveMode.Position;
         angularYZDrive.positionSpring = strength;
         angularYZDrive.maximumForce = strength;
         configurablejoint.angularYZDrive = angularYZDrive;
         
         JointDrive angularXDrive = new JointDrive();
         angularXDrive.mode = JointDriveMode.Position;
         angularXDrive.positionSpring = strength;
         angularXDrive.maximumForce = strength;
         configurablejoint.angularXDrive = angularXDrive;
         
         JointDrive xDrive = new JointDrive();
         xDrive.mode = JointDriveMode.None;
         xDrive.positionSpring = 0f;
         configurablejoint.xDrive = xDrive;
         
         JointDrive yDrive = new JointDrive();
         yDrive.mode = JointDriveMode.None;
         yDrive.positionSpring = 0f;
         configurablejoint.yDrive = yDrive;
         
         JointDrive zDrive = new JointDrive();
         zDrive.mode = JointDriveMode.None;
         zDrive.positionSpring = 0f;
         configurablejoint.zDrive = zDrive;
     }
 }

This works fine and dandy, thing is its kind of a pain going through all the children and changing this when it needs changing so I created a master script which takes all these scripts and groups them together based on their location, seen here.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class RagdollMasterControlScript : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     public GameObject root;
     public GameObject head;
     public GameObject neck;
     public GameObject lowerSpine;
     public GameObject upperSpine;
     public GameObject pelvis;
     public GameObject rightUpperArm;
     public GameObject rightForearm;
     public GameObject rightHand;
     public GameObject leftUpperArm;
     public GameObject leftForearm;
     public GameObject leftHand;
     public GameObject rightThigh;
     public GameObject rightCalf;
     public GameObject rightFoot;
     public GameObject leftThigh;
     public GameObject leftCalf;
     public GameObject leftFoot;
     public float rootPositionSpring = 10000f;
     public float headPositionSpring = 10000f;
     public float torsoPositionSpring = 10000f;
     public float leftArmPositionSpring = 10000f;
     public float rightArmPositionSpring = 10000f;
     public float leftLegPositionSpring = 10000f;
     public float rightLegPositionSpring = 10000f;
 
     void Start () 
     {
 
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void FixedUpdate () 
     {
 
         head.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties> ().strength = headPositionSpring;
         neck.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties> ().strength = headPositionSpring;
 
         lowerSpine.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=torsoPositionSpring;
         upperSpine.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=torsoPositionSpring;
 
         pelvis.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rootPositionSpring;
         root.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rootPositionSpring;
 
         rightUpperArm.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightArmPositionSpring;
         rightForearm.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightArmPositionSpring;
         rightHand.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightArmPositionSpring;
 
         leftUpperArm.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightArmPositionSpring;
         leftForearm.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightArmPositionSpring;
         leftHand.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightArmPositionSpring;
 
         rightThigh.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightLegPositionSpring;
         rightCalf.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightLegPositionSpring;
         rightFoot.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=rightLegPositionSpring;
 
         leftThigh.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=leftLegPositionSpring;
         leftCalf.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=leftLegPositionSpring;
         leftFoot.GetComponent<ConfigurableJointProperties>().strength=leftLegPositionSpring;
     }
 
 }

I just pop that script onto the root, assign the right objects to their corresponding slots and then I should be able to change the strength variable by group. This works. Kind of. The root/head/torsoSpringPosition variables all work as they should, however the limbs simply aren't responding. I figure it has something to do with the actual limbs because if I stick that script on a cube and assign that cube to the rightForearm slot, the script on the cube responds, but when the right forearm is assigned, nothing. The only difference between the limbs and the rest of the body is they use capsule colliders while the rest use box and spheres, and changing that didn't seem to change anything either. Thoughts?
