I created the plugin folder and now it works!

"The right thing was to create in Adobe/Adobe XD" (i.e. ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe XD)
i deleted this directory:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe.XD
but then every time i launch xd, the deleted directory gets recreated. the error would persist.
this sounds like a bug and will perpetuate this error message until xd points to the correct directory?

Every plugin I try to install gives me a "Plugin installation failed message". Not sure how to fix this. I don't think it's a permissions issue because I followed suggestions from the "Help Center" and my Adobe folders were not locked. If there are any steps I can add to help debug this issue, please let me know!
