Cannot find the source of errors

I have a mosfet that has 6 legs ( 4 are D). To make things go better, I modified the footprint and tied the Ds together. All is well in the until I read the netlist in pcb mode.
I get the following.
Error: Component ‘Q2’ pad ‘~’ not found in footprint ‘TO_SOT_Packages_SMD:SOT-23-6_Handsoldering’
Error: Component ‘Q3’ pad ‘~’ not found in footprint ‘TO_SOT_Packages_SMD:SOT-23-6_Handsoldering’
Error: Component ‘Q4’ pad ‘~’ not found in footprint ‘TO_SOT_Packages_SMD:SOT-23-6_Handsoldering’
Error: Component ‘Q5’ pad ‘~’ not found in footprint ‘TO_SOT_Packages_SMD:SOT-23-6_Handsoldering’

The footprint I picked has 6 legs and my schematic also has 6 legs numbered 1-6. In the library, all legs are set as passive.

Somehow your symbol has one pin with pin number ‘~’.

The pin numbers in symbol and footprint need to be the same. (The pin name of the symbol is not used for connecting between footprint and symbol. Only for giving the net a name if you do not specify a name via a label.)

There is an image illustrating this requirement at Linking pin numbers to pad numbers

Thank you. I found it after overlooking the problem several times.
