The centerpad of one of my chips looks like this:

	Pad[3937 3937 3937 3937 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" "edge2"]
	Pad[0 3937 0 3937 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" ""]
	Pad[-3937 3937 -3937 3937 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" ""]
	Pad[3937 0 3937 0 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" "edge2"]
	Pad[-3937 0 -3937 0 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" ""]
	Pad[3937 -3937 3937 -3937 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" "edge2"]
	Pad[0 -3937 0 -3937 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" ""]
	Pad[-3937 -3937 -3937 -3937 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" ""]
	Pad[0 0 0 0 1968 2000 2568 "" "EP" ""]
	Pad[0 0 0 0 11811 2000 0 "" "EP" "square,nopaste"]

That's nine paste dots on a solid copper pad


However, in your footprint, you set the solder *mask* to zero, which
covered the pad, and shrunk the valid paste size to zero also.
