Warning Plugins Have Failed to Load / Error Couldn't find main entry point / macOS

While opening AE received the following warning:

After Effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load. Please reinstall these plugins:

[insert long list here]

 

clicked through OK

 

Was then greeted with the following error:

After Effects error: Couldn't find main entry point for [plugin name] (48:: 72)

 

I followed the path to investigate:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/

 

But found that there is no Plug-ins folder in the Common folder.

 

After a search on Adobe Community I have found fixes for PC users, but not for macOS users.

 

 

my details:

After Effects 25.2.0

Apple M2 Max

96 GB Memory

macOS Sequoia Version 15.3.2

    just making sure here: I thought the same was true on my mac mini, but there are 2 libraries that have almost identical folders and folder strucutres. One is on my HD. And the other is in the user folder. (on my computer) one of them has the plugins, the other one does not. BTW: problem "solved" by going back to 25.1.

    I'm having the exact same issue with my MacBook Pro M3 Pro running AE 25.2.0
    I thought it was an easy fix but haven't found any solutions. 
    Adobe dropping the ball as usual.
