Just because one verb can follow another in the bare infinitive form does not automatically make the former verb a modal, nor does the lack to the particle somehow make the latter verb a finite verb.

Is Help a modal verb because it does not require change of inflectional morphology. Were (percent) not subject to change of inflectional morphology due to people or numbers (or possibly by tense)? Since help is inflected, it cannot be a modal verb.

Since modals cannot inflect, they have no -ing form: one can’t’ say **mighting* or **musting* or **oughting* the way one can say aiding or stopping or making, thus further showing that help cannot be a modal.
