VST Plug-ins Not popping up during Scan

Hi

I have macOS Monterey Version 12.0.01 on the New iMac. I am using Adobe Audition 22.0.0.96. I am not new to Adobe or troubleshooting either. I have always used Izotope VST plug ins (Nectar3 & Vocal Synth to be exact) and never had an issue. Nothing changed with my computer but i got on Audition today to record, it would allow me to add the AU plug in of Nectar or Vocal Synth but would not include the effect in the export of the multitrack session. I tried scanning the plug-ins directly to the folder they are located and active and the scan is ONLY giving "AU" plug-in results. 

I have factory reset my computer, installed previous versions of Audition, uninstalled all plug ins and reinstalled everything (multiple times now) and nothing has worked. I talked with a tech support agent with Adobe and even talked with Izotope to make sure nothing was wrong with the VST or my licenses & they confirmed nothing was wrong with my plug in licenses. All the Adobe rep could say is that they found out Adobe doesn't work with AU plug ins which is why when i would export a track it wouldnt include the AU plug in effect, but was unable to determine why only AU plugins were popping up in the scan no matter where I mapped the folders to. 

Does anyone know possibly how to fix this without me doing the same things i've spent hours doing already?
