AdGuardHome No Longer Loads/Functions

Good Evening,

I am uncertain as to how this happened, but (perhaps and almost certainly after an update) my AdGuardHome stopped working completely.

I have scoured the forums as well as looked on Reddit to find individuals who seem to have had a similar issue. However, I have noticed that while they can access their .yaml configuration for AdGuardHome, mine AdGaurdHome plugin does not load at all.

What I have tried:
1.   Saving the previous working .yaml config to  notepad++, uninstalling the AdguardHome plugin, restarting OPNsense.
2.   When I reinstalled the AdGuardHome plugin, I made sure to check both the 'Enable' and 'Primary DNS' boxes.
3.   I went to Unbound DNS, in General and changed Listen Port from 53 to 5335.
4.   I attempted to access AdGuardHome via the default 192.168.1.1:3000, but it just times out.
5.   I tried pinging the address from my command prompt, and it returns no results, like it cannot see the plugin running OR that it simply isn't functioning?
6.   I tried SSH into OPNsense, shell command, accessing the "edit /usr/local/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome.yaml" which opens an empty folder. I pasted my previous configuration settings from step 1 into this folder, saved and exited, but AdGuardHome does not open.
7.   I tried falling back to previous historical backup to when I remember AdGuardHome working, to no avail.

At this point, I have no idea what else I can try. I considered using my unRaid server with the AdGuardHome docker on it to function in its place, but I was unable to get the DNS queries to pass through from OPNsense. I know that is likely beyond the scope of this forum, but I would suspect there is something in the firewall that is preventing this from going to my unRaid server.

I am at a loss. I am happy to take suggestions. I am fairly savvy for the most part, but I may ask for clarification as I am not a super user of OPNsense in any regard

Thank you kindly
