After Effects Files Not Getting Queued in Media Encoder

Hi, I'm using Adobe ME version 22.6.1 and Adobe AE version 22.6.0. When I select 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Render Queue' from the Composition Menu or when I select 'Queue in AME' from the Render Queue in Afer Effects, there's nothing coming up in AME for render. For the last few files, I'm having to first render an uncompressed extremely heavy file in AE and then drag that output video file in AME and use H-264 to compress it. This is quite a hassle. It used to happen in earlier versions, then it got fixed, now it's started happening again. Please resolve this soon!
