i found this tip in a youtube comment
open your C/drive.>Program Files (NOT program files x86)>COMMON>then in common folder create a NEW FOLDER called VST2. THEN after downloading the plugin run the installation and install the plugin into that folder. Restart OBS and boom it should pop up.
i have obs downloaded in Program Filesx86 so I followed the same steps just with Program Filesx86 instead
but now I am having the problem with the interface not even opening even though it is showing up in my list of plugins on obs
