Can't form a chain between two views/widgets in Android Studio

Question

When I'm using the layout editor in Android Studio and I try to make a chain (bidirectional constraint) between a EditText View and a Button View using the constraint anchors, it doesn't make the chain.

It only makes a constraint if I try to constrain one View to the other.

I am trying to chain the right side of the EditText to the left side of the Button.

This is what my Layout Editor looks like:

I was trying to figure this out too. I've discovered that one way to do it is to select both views, then right click and select Center Horizontally. This creates the chain, but then you have to adjust any other constraints accordingly. I'm new to Android, so I'm sure there will be other ways....
