Ego-Tripical

I could make a novel informing the things I've tested and reviewed to resolve this issue that's tasked me for several hours this morning and last night and the night before but I'm just going to put it simply and brace for the chewing out of asking a question I'm so very sure was previously asked and resolved but I had failed to find. If I can't find a thread/resolution for this then that tells me I probably have an awry idea of what I'm doing and it is time to ask. If I'm asking how many licks it takes to get to center of tootsie pop and it's really how many tootsie licks it takes to pop the center... I'll never figure it out. I could very well be forging an incorrect path to my desired result here.
•Wanted to add some damage types to 5E
-Success; By simply adding to the damagetypes in data_common.lau
•Read that updates can overwrite this modification and to Duplicate+Rename the modified .pak
-Success;Renamed and load able by a new campaign but extensions don't link
•Duplicate+Rename the extensions files and redirect
-Success; Extensions linked
•Went to town creating a story, NPCs, items, etc when I found myself opening the library and attempting to open the little book on the 5E PHB module
-All modules except stock modules are missing
I can not get 5E PHB to be an activate able module. Did all sorts of testing with the contents of the Fantasy Grounds folder and the contents of the Fantasy Grounds AppData but efforts where for not. I was able to get extension modules to appear but not the 5E Deluxe Player's Hand Book or the Basic Player's Hand Book for that matter.
I do know I haven't completely hosed it because I can change it back to 5E.pak, it loads the PHB and my additional damage types are functional.
I'm coming at this with an Actions Script 2 and 3, and 1990s html scripting foundation. That's right I'm talking 1990s html, just enough html knowledge to create a black page with centered neon green text perhaps maybe an image with a single 5px bordered table improperly used as a picture frame, level of html skill.
