Is your Mod Staging Folder on the same drive as your games?

If not, use Vortex to move it there.

I only have one drive is there another way this could be appening

Do you have your Mod Staging Folder inside your game folder? If so, use Vortex to move it out of your game folder altogether.

In your Skyrim LE game data folder, you should have a file named "vortex.deployment.json." If so, exit the game and exit Vortex. Rename the "vortex.deployment.json" file, restart Vortex and launch your game. Here is a thread where that solution is described in a bit more detail: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7611838-error-unexpected-token-in-json-at-position-0/?hl=%2Bjson&do=findComment&comment=69775748.

What do you mean "every single option for deployment is greyed out"? That's not how it works, Vortex doesn't show deployment methods as greyed out, it doesn't list them at all.

When no deployment methods are available you get an error notification that tells you the reason they are unavailable for each one, what's the reason stated for "hardlink deployment" being unavailable?

Side note: It appears you are installing your Steam games in Program Files (x86). That is a generally terrible place to put them.

Consider moving them to C:/Games/Steam/steamapps/common.

Program Files is a Windows protected directory. Great place for applications - bad place for Steam games than change a lot.

I wouldn't sign that, file permissions can be overridden as you go further down the directory tree so "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\data" can have all the write access you need while everything else in "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps" remains read-only and thereby protected.

So it's perfectly legit, actually advisable to keep your games in program files, as long as you understand how to configure file permissions.

 

If your alternatives however are "install games outside program files" and "run everything as admin" then yes, the former is preferable.
