Why can't I change an NPCs hair to custom hair without getting the dark face glitch?

I've been attempting this for about two months now with little to no help. I've been following several video and written tutorials like using the creation kit to change the NPC's (Saadia) hair and regening the facegen. Another one had me use Nifscope and Nifoptimizer while using Racemenu to export a face with the custom hair of my choice but to no avail.

 

I've tried disabling all my mods except for the custom hair mod I was using (previously I was using SGHair but figured it was a problem with SGHair so I switched to Apachii, still no luck.) I've tried uninstalling all my mods, clearing my data folder, reinstalling Skyrim to make sure there isn't some hidden conflict. A friend of mine told me it could be the result of another hair trying to overwrite the hair I was trying to edit it so I went in an change my load order, still no luck with that.

 

I even tried using a mod that changed Saadia's hair and even that mod was broken. What am I doing wrong? Two months of attempting this on an off and I'm seriously feeling like I need someone to walk me through it.

EDIT: Someone in the modding discord tried helping me, we figured out it was a master esm issue and got the hair to work but the face still showed up dark and he couldn't figure it out what was causing the dark face issue.

 

We also concluded the hairs I was using were for LE and (despite them working perfectly fine for the player character) probably weren't optimized. We attempted this with CAO, autocleaned the master and everything, still got the bug.
