Child bridge added successfully but can't pair to it or edit the child bridge config file

[nealwwilliams21]

Describe The Bug

I have been able to get my plugin to run as a child process but I can't pair to it as the link is grayed out. Also when I try to edit the child bridge config file I get the error "You need to configure this plugin before you can manage its bridge settings", and then I get the error "Error Failed to load plugin config schema" when I click on the PLUGIN CONGFIG button. I can open the main config file and the plugin config file on their own just fine.

plugin: Homebridge Broadlink RM Pro v4.4.19
