Shadow USB driver installation not working

I recently started using this service, and everything is great except for one issue with installing USB drivers. 

Im using a 2019 iMac and when I go to settings, My shadow, I choose to install the drivers. I’m then greeted with a message that reads: “An unexpected error happened with the USB devices redirection drivers”.

Im then given the option to a) fix drivers, b) uninstall drivers.

 

To be clear - Ive tried the fix option, uninstall, restarted Mac, re-installed the app, and finally read the Help Center article for manually uninstalling by using commands in terminal. Even that didn't work as apparently permissions are denied. 

Ultimately, Im unable to fully install USB drivers at all right now as well as fix or uninstall it seems.

Any help is appreciated!
