Solidworks to Simulink Mate unrecognized - "Slot Mate"

I have imported an assembly from solidworks into sim mechanics so I can create a controller for the assembly. The problem is simulink doesn't seem to recognize the "Slot Mate" from Solidworks. Is there an alternative for that mate on solidworks or is there a block I can introduce on simulink to get the appropriate degrees of freedom.

Hello!

Slot Mate is not directly supported by the Simscape Multibody Link plugin, which results in the Slot Mate being exported as an "unknown constraint”.

The following links might help with troubleshooting issues related to exporting CAD models from SolidWorks and provide a list of supported "Mates and Joints":
