Jeweler's Orbs not working on basic attacks

I am trying to add a third socket to shred with a lesser jeweler's orb, but it will not let me. Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm hoping someone can help me. I remember in previous patches being able to add sockets to mace strike, so IDK if they changed this or if I am doing something wrong.

It's not. At the top of the forum index is a section for "Path of Exile 2 Early Access". If you can't see the forums in that section, click on the section header.

To answer the question--more sockets are added as you level up.

As mentioned, it's always been the case that basic attack sockets come available as you level up more. Not sure if that's weapon based, i.e: higher bases provide more sockets, or just on level alone.
