Garmin Express 7.25.0.0 Update - Mac won't detect my watch

I opened the Garmin Express app to update my watch and it prompted me to update the Garmin Express application on my computer. I decided to update the computer application before updating my watch, so I went through the steps and installed the Express update.

Now my watch won't connect to Express. It just says "Not Connected". When I go into express and click "install updates" to my watch, the window pops up that says "To continue, plug your Forerunner 955 into your computer", where it just sits there, doing nothing, despite my watch being plugged in.

The cord works just fine as my watch is charging AND Express recognized it prior to the update.

I have uninstalled Express and reinstalled it, unplugged and re-plugged my watch back in, still no change. 

My device is a Forerunner 955 and my Mac OS is Sequoia 15.3.2. The version of Express I updated to is 7.25.0.0

Please help.
