@Charan208 This looks like a case of bad install. Try uninstalling the extension, and removing all instances of it from the extension directory and try again.

@Charan208, install the latest version first. Once it's installed, go to the extensions tab, Right-Click on the extension, and you'll see an option saying “Install Specific Version.” After clicking on the “Install Specific Version” button, select a relatively older version (for example, 2025.3.0). Now wait for it to install, and the issue should be resolved.
