This seems like something simple so not sure why google is failing …
How do you add sockets to a mesh for import into UE4? Like what object do you place in the blender mesh for each socket point where items will be attached in game. 
hi
Seems like empty objects named SOCKET_name-of-empty could do the trick according to this thread. Also maybe parent the empty to your mesh.

Yep solved thanks!
- add socket as Empty >> [something] (i use single arrow to easily see socket orientation)
- example below of Unreal export settings with a single socket at the center of the mesh

it only works on static mesh not skeletal mesh, and be aware about scale and orientation.
