Orbs are attached to the weapon node.
Therefore you have to add a node named "Weapon Ref" to your model.

I added Weapon Ref but just couldn't add to the weapon's itself. I mean, when model moves its weapon, the node therefore the orb stays where it is.

Your "Weapon Ref" node has to be a "child" of the weapon bone.
Just like in your screenshot, "Origin Ref" is a "child" to "bone_b70".
Use "move up" and "move right" to move your node until it is below your weapon bone.

your weapon ref should be attached to the hand's bone left or right.
