Having trouble getting the mod manager to recognize my file location?

So I havemt played satisfactory since early update 8, and back then I was playing a lot of modded. but now that Im returning I was having trouble. the actual launch of the game still had the outdated mods so that was a thing I had to figure out, which I have now by just removing the files directly, but the mod manager keeps giving the message "Error
1 Satisfactory install was found, but it points to a folder that doesn't exist.
"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Satisfactory"."
Ive tried reinstalling the mod manager with no luck and the path is correct. So my question is basically what do? is there a way to make the mod manager redetect the path? while its like this I should mention that I have no way of messing with the settings on the mod manager.

- Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "folder that does not exist" error message! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
- If you have issues launching the game after this, also delete the
