How to get barriers to work with MotionLayout

So I have been playing around with MotionLayout to get certain animations to work, but I had an issue with barriers when converting the ConstraintLayout to the MotionLayout. I have a barrier that references two header views on the top of the parent layout and a ViewGroup that constrains the top of the ViewGroup to the bottom of the barrier; however, when I convert the ConstraintLayout to the new MotionLayout, the barrier does not work anymore. My ViewGroup gets constrained to the top of the parent instead of the bottom of the barrier. I assume this is because the library is still in alpha, but I'm hoping someone has some sort of workaround on that.

Edit:
