Does anyone know how composite and aluminum connects each other with hi-lock?

I try to connect by choosing spots>>type>>Hilock, but it cannot realized. For aluminum- aluminum connection with hilock, there is no problem. There is a problem when composite-aluminum connection with hilock.

When composite connect with RBE2 element  to aluminum, it works. However, I need modelling the  connections as hilock etc. 

I also try rbe3-cbush-rbe3 connectors, but it doesn't work, doesn't connect composite&aluminum.

What kind of connector( similar hilock) can I use for composite-aluminum connection?
