PROXIES issue: Exporting video w. proxies, and not relinking them

My videos have been exporting using the proxies, as in the video quality is very reduced and grainy and looks exactly like my proxies. I know this is the issue because I tried multiple solutions and then when I just detached my proxies, it exported perfectly fine in full quality.

Then, when I try to relink the proxies, it only allows me to link one clip at a time, even though they are all in one location on my hard drive in the same folder. It does not recognize the other proxies and relink automatically the way that it should.

PLEASE help, this is a massive inconvenience because now I either have to create all new proxies and wait for them to export in Media Encoder, or go in and manually attach EACH proxy, and I have well over 400+ clips. This has been going on for over a month.
