i ended up figuring out a solution :

1- in terminal navigate to the folder containing the .CR3 files :
cd /path/to/your/folder

replace /path/to/your/folder with the actual path to your files, you can also drag and drop the folder in terminal

2 - Unhide the files by running :
chflags nohidden *.CR3

PS : i used it for .MP4's as well, and everything is unhidden and visible now,

hope this helps
