OBS + NVI problems on my work-administered mac

Hello!

I *think* I've properly installed the NDI OBS plugin & runtime as described here: https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases

As evidence, "NDI™ Output Settings" appear in the OBS tools menu and all seems well as far as I can tell in my logs (pasted below).

However, when I try to add an NDI source (in my case, I'm hoping to add Adobe Character Animator via the NDI Adobe Plug-in https://ndi.tv/tools/), I only see "NVI Virtual Input" as an option. Same goes for the "File" options for the NVI Video Monitor.

To thicken the plot, I've been able to do this successfully on own Macbook Pro, but the computer in question is a work machine with tighter admin restrictions. I'm wondering if some plugin or library file is being blocked from opening without a warning somewhere. If so, what files would I need to check for permissions?

Of course, the issue could be something else entirely. : /

Thanks for any advice!
