I feel like I've seen this question before, I don't remember what the answer was, but I'm not entirely sure you can Set Research for Neutrals... That might be the reason behind the desync. Is it possible to change the neutrals to a Computer? If not I guess you could add the Item ability for Claws of Attack to the neutrals. Although the damage will be green. If I remember right, this item ability cannot be leveled so you'll have to make sure to remove Level 1 of the ability before you add level 2 and so on.
