This guide would be helpful: LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2836875.0)

First: move (bottom-left) this topic to the altcoin boards.

Then: I assume you used a Bitcoin wallet to recover your funds. A Bitcoin wallet doesn't support Forkcoins, you're going to need to use the respective Forkcoin wallets. I wrote a topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2836875.0) about this years ago. The prices in that topic are outdated, but the warnings are still valid. Move your Bitcoins to a safe new wallet before doing anything Forkcoin related, and learn what the lack of replay protection means before doing anything else.
