Lightroom CC is failing to update, so I uninstalled it, but it's still asking to update instead of reinstalling. Help!

I was updating Lightroom CC when the installation failed because it couldn't read a certain important file. Every time I tried to update it, it was the same issue. I tried the troubleshooting recommendations and none seemed to work. So I finally uninstalled it from the creative cloud app, but it didn't really uninstall. It still had the update button next to it, which failed. The Creative Cloud Lightroom uninstaller was also missing from Finder. I uninstalled it using a 3rd party app, hoping to start the installation from scratch but in Creative Cloud, Lightroom still has the update button next to it, instead of install. I tried reinstalling it manually from the browser, but it wanted to fulfill the installation through the Creative Cloud app, and thus prompted me to update instead of install.
