I made a custom Footprint, whenever I try to link to a schematic library, Altium refuse and just pop a random footprint instead.
What are the reasons that could lead altium to refuse to load a footprint?
Here the image of the footprint:

The most likely cause of this issue is that the footprint you made and are trying to add to the existing library already has a footprint of the same unique ID or library reference name. This cannot work, as every footprint must have a unique name.
I think it is only on a per-library basis; you can have another library of footprints with the same footprint names as the other library, and it will still allow you to use both libraries at the same time.
