I made a video of me trying to load this version of the plugin.

The load button simply does not activate the checkmark box.

Any thoughts on how to fix this, or why this would be happening?

You need to attach the content of all output in SE after you clicked the checkbox.
What OS is this on?

I'm on Windows 10
Maya 2020.2

This is from SE.

First be sure you have both XGen and Bifrost installed. These don't have static libraries in their SDKs, thus these shared lib-files must be present in Maya installation for Octane to have support of them and being able to load.
You don't need to have a license for them or even load these plugins in Maya - you just need to have them installed, so that their lib-files are present.

Yup, you were correct sir! It's loaded now. Thanks.
