Newb here, library loader, no footprint

Hi all, I skimmed through the FAQ’s looking for an answer. I didn’t find anything.

I’m using Library Loader and downloading part libraries from mouser for a few parts.
in the download it shows the symbol, a footprint, and a 3D view.
I tried to convert my schematic from diagram to PCB layout and none of the parts had a foot print assigned to them.
