Correct way of adding to waydroid?

I'm trying to add gapps, libndk, widevine and smartdock to Waydroid. I've tried: - clearing all directories and using -s gapps to initialise with gapps, - using the waydroid-script main.py install method (system is ofc read only, so that doesn't work past unzipping gapps), - adding /home/<name>/waydroid_script/venv/bin/python3 /home/<name>/waydroid_script/main.py install {gapps,etc,etc} to the system.yaml, - copying exactly what is shown in the screenshot in the blend-os post-install guide. So far, none of these have resulted in waydroid having gapps or anything else. Is there a better method? I installed waydroid-script as per the install instructions on GitHub, and I have noticed that the screenshot in the blend-os post-install guide shows a completely different location for the waydroid script. I have tried both, and still no success. I notice that when following exactly what is shown on the guide under Waydroid, I recieve this error during akshara update: ERROR: Cannot locate waydroid config file, reinit wayland and try again!
Solution:
So I just did ```sh sudo rm -r /var/lib/waydroid sudo rm -r /home/.waydroid sudo rm -r /home/$USER/waydroid...

you have to use a directory that's copied over currently there is no such folder because I don't think the /opt patch was built yet but it should be /opt

The folder exists in /opt/ with contents

so ideally you'd run it from there

So I just did 
sudo rm -r /var/lib/waydroid 
sudo rm -r /home/.waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/share/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/.local/share/waydroid
sudo rm -r /var/lib/waydroid 
sudo rm -r /home/.waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/share/waydroid
sudo rm -r /home/$USER/.local/share/waydroid
Then I did sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS (which didnt do anything). Opened Blend Settings and reinitialised waydroid. Akshara gave me another error. I then ran python /opt/waydroid-script/main.py from the home directory, selected gapps, and this time it worked.
