Cannot use Power Profiler Kit with nRF52 DK and nRF Connect Desktop on Mac or Linux

Hi, I need to do some power analysis of an application I am working on. I have a Power Profiler Kit, but it will not work with nRF Connect currently.

I have two machines, both with nRF Connect installed - a Mac and a Manjaro Linux PC. On Mac, I get the error "Error when validating firmware: Error occured when read. Errorcode: CouldNotOpenDLL (0x7) Lowlevel error: INVALID_OPERATION" and the Log reads "Failed to read PPK metadata" and "Failed to start the PPK". On Manjaro, I get "Error while probing devices: Error occured when get serial numbers. Errorcode: CouldNotOpenDLL (0x7) Lowlevel error: JLINKARM_DLL_NOT_FOUND (ffffff9c)".

I would really like a solution for either my Mac or Manjaro Linux PC, does not matter which one. My MAC can run the RSSI Viewer just fine, but Manjaro gives the same error when attempting to use the RSSI Viewer. I have nRF Connect V2.6.2 on Mac and V3.2.0 on Manjaro. I've disconnected SB9 on the DK and have not altered it in any way. On Manjaro, I've downloaded V6.22 of JLink software and documentation, but currently just have the folder containing binaries in my Downloads folder. Should I move these somewhere else, like into the Segger folder? Not really sure what to do, have spent several hours looking for a solution online with no luck.
