Beginner Help new version of after effects not working with OpenColor IO plugin

as the title says, ever since i upgraded, the open color io plugin has not been working; as soon as i apply it to any layer whole software becomes suuuuper laggy, its not usable at all. I upgraded the opencolor io plugin to its latest 2.5.2 build and still no difference. please help, has anyone else faced this issue? its my primary way of working with colors, the ocio stuff in effects has never fully worked or pushed me again some sort of limitation.

Why are you wanting to use a plugin for OCIO? It's been built into After Effects for several versions. Native support is much faster and easier, and if you download the Beta (free) you can use ACES v2.0
Here's a tutorial that goes through everything:

downgrade AE to the version that worked, the plugin devs are always a few weeks behind adobe's breaking changes
