Cannot launch manual installation tModLoader (family share)

I have terraria through family share, so i had to do the manual installation. I've downloaded it in the steamapps/common folder, next to terraria's folder, but it wont launch. This is the error log for it

If the information in the pinned thread does not solve your issue, please post all log files by dragging and dropping them into this chat. In Steam right click on tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files. In the folder that appears find tModLoader-Logs and open that folder. Inside that folder are the logs files. Select them all except the Old folder and drag them into this chat. If you need a visual guide to this process watch this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/assets/4522492/3f4efa43-753f-4733-b630-ba85e711340c

Installation is easy. If you purchased the Steam version of Terraria, install tModLoader from https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281930/tModLoader/. If you purchased the GOG version of Terraria, or Steam family share isn't working, read this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/tModLoader-guide-for-players#manual-installation
