I've been using Max 7 for a couple of months now and I'm starting to get the hang of things! I'm currently building an FM synth and experimenting with the poly object. I have inserted my two modulator sub patches along with the carrier oscillator and ADSR function, using a regular 'in' objects with a number which are displaying as normal on the poly patch. I have an out~ object too, however this is not displaying as an outlet. Any help would be greatly appreciated to try and diagnose this, and anything people can throw my way regarding building FM synths in Max would also be kindly received. Screenshots are also attached.

Do you have several versions of this subpatch on your computer?

Change the name (both in the patch and the file name), store the subpatch in the same folder as the main patch, and reload: do you still see the problem?

No just the one I think. When you say change the name in the patch are you referring to the poly object? If so i've done that and stored the subpatch in the same folder and the problem is still there.

It displays a regular 'out' but not 'out~'

I've just started with Max for Live and this had me stumped. For anyone else starting out and making the same mistake as me, your poly~ object name should be the same as your subpatch that you're loading into the poly~ (without the subpatch file extension).

The subpatch: 'ABcDx.maxpat' should be loaded.
