Photoshop Add-ons do not appear throughout all troubleshooting

Question

I recently got a factory reset 2009 iMac fully updated and running smoothly with Photoshop CC 2017. I am trying to download literally any add-on at this point; I started with the Animator's Toolbar, but after not getting anywhere with that install, I have started to attempt just any ol' extension in hopes to get something to show up.

Here's my walkthrough process:

I download and install the add-on from the exchange (it says acquired), but I get absolutely no response with my Creative Cloud Desktop app. No fail message, no errors, no updates, no notifications, just nothing. When I open photoshop the add-on is no where to be found.

I have tried uninstalling the application, desktop app, and add-ons over and over and over. I've signed out of everything and back in.

- My file sync in the desktop app is turned on

- Nothing is paused or queued

- Internet is stable

- No firewalls or ungranted permissions

- Photoshop is closed at the time of attempted installs

I just want a direction that isn't "uninstall and reinstall the program" for the 100th time. Any help? I'm trying really hard to stay calm. I have deadlines to make and really need that Animation Toolbar
