This comes from the FASA FAQ:

**********
Q. If a Decker using Recon discovers the Custom System Challenge, is
Custom System placed face up at this time?
A. Yes. Normally, looking at a Challenge using the Recon special
trait does not "reveal" that Challenge, but this is an exception.
**********

Unless the Challenge is something like Custom System or Security
Decker, doing Recon does not actually "reveal" the Challenge and thus
doesn't activate the card's text. Attaching challenges as we've been
discussing would then just return to the challenge stack until
"revealed" when encountered on a Shadowrun, and then they would move
up onto the objective.

You may have to find a way to work with this then.
