Photoshop Elements 2021.2, problem with opening ARW files

Hello 

I have an iMac, running Bug Sur, 11.4. I am using Photoshop Elements 2021.2

When I try to open ARW files — raw files from a Sony Alpha 1(A1) camera — I get a dialogue box saying: 

“Photoshop Elements cannot open this file.

If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates…

 If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:

Here is what I am finding:

1. When I go to Help on the Photoshop Elements menu, there is no update offered. 

2. When I click on the link suggested by the dialogue box, I see that the “Minimum Camera Raw plug-in version required” for the “Sony Alpha 1 (ILCE-1)” is 13.2. 

3. In the menu bar of the app: Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 Editor > About Plug-In shows the Camera Raw version as 13.0.0612 — so that’s not up to date. 

I downloaded the file “CameraRaw_13_3.dmg” and installed it, as directed. But it does not seem to have “taken”. (I can’t remember where I found it on the Adobe website, if that matters). I also updated the “Camera Raw” section on Creative Cloud, but this hasn’t transferred to my Photoshop Elements app. 

I also downloaded Adobe Bridge, and I can see previews of my pics, but when I try to open in raw I get a box saying: “Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been licensed.” 

I am stymied. I’ve spent hours trying to sort this.

Can anyone help? Thank you!
