KWin (KDE Wayland) monitors not showing up #2

Originally, there were some problems with building linux-cru wayland branch, but I was able to fix that with a few lines of code in the build script. It looks like Manjaro (or maybe newer kernel versions. I'm not sure since I'm new-ish to Linux) refactored the path for python3, and refactored the folder /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to /lib64/.

export PYTHONPATH="${HERE}/usr/lib/python3.13:${PYTHONPATH}"
cp -r /usr/lib64/{libtk8.6.so,libtcl8.6.so} linux_cru.AppDir/usr/lib/
cp -r /usr/lib/python3.13/* linux_cru.AppDir/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/

After launching, I see that the program detects that I'm running KDE, but the terminal throws up the error:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.244:/backend: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject: No such object path '/backend'

And after looking at the python file and doing some google searching, it looks like KDE doesn't use the dbus object org.kde.KScreen anymore for Plasma 6. I'm not sure what they use, it was sorta inconclusive.
