Migration Issues PLZ Help - TrueNas

I was in the process of migrating my old files to a new immich install because my origional install wouldn't update (was installed initially through HexOs) I then createded a fresh install of immich and tested it (worked fine). But then I went to follow the migration directions and after those steps I got an error in the pgvecto container (pasted bellow) and i re coppyed all of the .immich files and just couldn't get it to work.

if anyone knows how to solve this issue I would greatly appreciate the help (btw newer to TrueNas)
