Arduino Custom Library HX711 Third Party Error

I keep getting the error: "The Arduino source 'HX711/HX711.h' for libraries 'ExampleAddon/HX711' cannot be found. Install the 3P library source first and try again. " I am using this library. I have tried the troubleshooting solutions here with no success.

When I use listArduinoLibraries, it recognizes the HX711 library but will not let me do anything with it.

Has anyone been successful in using this library at all? Why do I keep getting this error? I see quite a few people are having this issue but it appears like no one has found a solution. Any insight would be helpful, thanks.

You may need to override constant properties in the class "basic_HX711" to include necessary header and third-party source files. I am assuming you are not having 3rd party library file. If so, you may update the +arduinoioaddons\+basicHX711 file by modifying line 34

from:

LibraryHeaderFiles = 'basic_HX711/basic_HX711.h'

to:

LibraryHeaderFiles = {}

You can refer to this example

I am not sure why, but this issue was resolved by reverting my version of Matlab back to R2019b from R2020b. Thank you for the help and if this problem comes up again I will try this solution.
