Installing Addons on Steam Deck stuck with "Failed to load init.lua" (Almost figured out)

Help getting Addons install on the Steam Deck. Here is what I have done so far:

1. I followed https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/psobb-addon-plugin-lua-ui-addons.4543/ and download the bbmods from here: https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/psobb-addon-plugin-lua-ui-addons.4543/
2. I installed Visual Studio following this:
(The game will run after this)
3. The error (The game will start, and once you click "Start Game" you get an error "Failed to load init.lua") occurs after you paste the "Addons" folder and the "dinput8.dll and .pdb" into where your .exe is for the game. Specifically I believe the issue is in the "dinput8.dll" and possibly how it is pointed to from the Steam shortcut. When I remove that, or move it into the "addons/customdlls" as mentioned here: https://www.pioneer2.net/community/...-current-findings-research.23771/#post-194419" the error goes away and the game runs. Obviously the addons still don't work/show up.

I believe I am getting close with that last forum post and think now it is really just how to point to the init.lua from the Steam shortcut.

Let me know if you have any ideas or if you have questions about what/how I have done it here.
