Vortex "Couldn't find Skyrim.SE.EXE (00000002)"

[Gintore]

I installed skyrim, booted it up. started a couple different games using mods, one of which being the Gate to sovngarde collection, and everything was working totally fine. I made a new profile to try and use skyrim together reborn and after solving a few other issues all I get when I try to boot skyrim from vortex all I get is the error message in the title. I tried a profile with no mods and got the same thing, I've tried manually setting the start location, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, again I booted it up on its own without vortex to download dlcs and started a save file, everything worked fine without vortex. but no matter where I put files or the starting location all vortex gives me is that same error.

lowkey I might have made it worse with what I tried to fix it with please help!
