cant map my newest skills (force field and suppression)

[Pete Bugaiski]

i am an engineer and have leveled up to 12, i have 8 total skill slots but it wont let me map the force shield and suppression skills...am i missing something?
i try to replace the old skills or even use the empty slots but they wont map???
they are the 5th and 6th skills ive earned
i tried removing all and just using the new ones but wont budge
under current rank it sez this skill is not ranked

The skill has to have at least 1 point for it to be mapped.

how do you get the 1 point to start...i did'nt know i did anything to get the first4 and just mapped them.
i am confused for sure now, i have had the force shield for a long time now and there is no way to level it to 1 that ican see
