Stuck on "connect habitat to path" objective

Building the tiger habitat from scratch and wood and concrete. I can't figure out how to connect it to the path. I have a staff gate, and its connected with a staff path to the existing staff path near the trade center keeper hut.

I tried adding an additional regular path through the grass near the glass barrier I put in, but It just refuses to acknowledge the habitat as being connected to the path (and thus keeping me from proceeding through the tutorial), so what am I doing wrong? I looked through the help, but couldn't find anything (beyond habits must be connected to paths).

It has acknowledged that I have a staff gate, have completed the barrier, and raised it to 4 meters. I built it by putting in the gate first, and then building the barrier out from there (which the help says is a valid way to proceed).

I've also tried connecting it with a non-staff path.

Well, I got it to work by moving the staff gate around to the right side (in the screenshot) and connecting it to the public (I presume) path. (and this contradicts the tutorial's suggestion to put it near the staff hut near the trade center; as well as counter-intuitive if the idea is to keep the staff stuff out of view of the public. I'm assuming this is a bug.).
