Is there any solution/fix for torches being held low and not out in front of the character in third person?

If you're not aware of what I'm talking about, http://oi46.tinypic.com/4jb83.jpg.

There's no doubt that this issue was caused by one of my mods and I'm 99% sure I can identify which one it is. However, the strange thing is that this was not an issue until last night. I've played 16+ hours on my character and haven't had this problem, until now. So obviously something triggered it. And I think I might know what that is, too.

First of all, I believe the mod(s) that cause this are the XPMS Skeletons mod and the Equipping Overhaul mod that allows for more realistic equipping and unequipping of weapons.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure it was caused when I "equipped" a one-handed axe on my right hip (while having my sword on my left and bow on my back), as strange as that sounds.

When in first person the torch is held correctly (out in front) but in third person it's as if the character doesn't even realize he's holding a torch (again, see pic above).

This is by no means game-breaking but I'd definitely like to have it fixed because I love using third-person. I've searched this online and have seen that many people have had the same issue but I can't find any specific fix for it.
