does the second chest piece have a yellow stat, so lower skillpower or cooldown reduction?
if no then that is your answer, you cant the color of an attribute via recalibration
if its only about the amount you can transfer, then knowthat the samll amount you can increase your attributes will be much bigger with the next patch, but you still need same color
can you recalibrate at all or are you having problems with the amount of increasement?
because every attribute can only be increased by a small amount, for skillpower its ~100 i think
so if you have a piece with 200 skillpower and want to transfer 800 to it only 300 will arrive and further increasement will be impossible untill the recalibrationupdate from pts hits live
if you cant recalibrate at all and its not a crafted armor, then take it up with tech support and file a bug report
if its crafted it cant be recalibrated btw
