spicetify installation changes nothing

hello there
im having issues getting spicetify work on my computer once again. i struggled to install it originally and some how stumbled my way into it. i refreshed my computer and reinstalled it using the apt installation. unfortunately spotify refused to open after a while and i opted to uninstall it and use the unmodded version.

about 2 days ago i decided to give it another shot. this the the apt command refuses to even install spotify. after retrying it i decided to install spotify via flatpak which worked just fine. after an hour of trying to get spicetify to recognize spotify it FINALLY INSTALLED and it did absolutely not. it interacts with spotify as it closes the app when trying to install a theme but when i reopen the app its just the same, no config sidebar or market

i hope i was clear enough with my process, my problem and my frustrations. im not the best at describing things

kay thanks
