Garageband is not loading anything in my plug-in window

I'm currently struggling to add new instruments into the garageband software. I followed some advice and found the "Numa Player" that comes with different kinds of instruments. I followed the steps of installation and attempted to open the plug-in, but nothing shows up. Clicking "Numa" in the plug-ins section will lead to this extremely large window with nothing on it. I have checked my settings and can't really pinpoint what is causing this. I will provide a picture. Any help would be great! Thank you!

I found the solution!

All it took was a quick restart of my mac! If you happen to have the same issues then that should be the fix since it allowed garageband to fully integrate the numa player application into the program. :)
