Okay, so, somehow I fixed it. Here's how
I moved ALL The different plugin files I have (EXCEPT for Native Instruments Plugins) in the directory
— /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins —
to a temporary location ( example: moved the different plugin folders to my desktop, Made sure not to mix the vst/vst3/au plugins all in one file, separate back-up folders )
I came to this answer out of pure luck, i asked google gemini a bunch of different questions/prompts, and the most recent answer was

"Isolate the Plugin Scan Issue (The "Divide and Conquer" Method):
The most effective way to pinpoint a problematic plugin or a scan issue is to temporarily remove plugins from your scan paths.
- Create a Temporary Plugin Folder: On your desktop or in your Documents, create a new folder called "VST_TEMP_DISABLED".
- Move Third-Party VSTs/AUs (Temporarily):
- Go to
Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
(for VST2s) - Go to
Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
(for VST3s) - Go to
Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
(for AUs) - Crucially, only move third-party (non-Native Instruments) plugins from these folders into your "VST_TEMP_DISABLED" folder. Do NOT move any Native Instruments plugin files (like Kontakt.vst3, Massive.vst, etc.) at this stage.
- Leave only the core Native Instruments VST/AU plugins in their original locations.
- Go to
- Reset Maschine/Komplete Kontrol Databases Again: Perform a fresh database reset for both Maschine and Komplete Kontrol as outlined in previous steps.
- Restart your Mac.
- Launch Maschine (Standalone): Let it perform a full scan.
- If it loads successfully and Kontakt instruments work now: This strongly indicates one of the third-party plugins you moved was causing a conflict or hanging the scan.
- Now, gradually move the third-party plugins back into their original folders, say 5-10 at a time.
- After each batch, restart Maschine (or Komplete Kontrol) and let it rescan. The point where it breaks again will identify the culprit plugin.
- Once identified, check if that plugin has a known incompatibility with your macOS version or Maschine, or if it needs an update.
- If the issue persists even with only NI plugins: This points more strongly to an issue with how Maschine or Komplete Kontrol is interacting with core NI plugins or a deeper system-level problem. Proceed to the next steps."
- If it loads successfully and Kontakt instruments work now: This strongly indicates one of the third-party plugins you moved was causing a conflict or hanging the scan.
This seemed to work for me in this instance, hope it helps someone else because ive tried to solve it for three days ( basically every-hour I wasnt sleeping or working was trying to fix this problem, what a headache ) Thank you so much to everyone who has responded to help me come to this fix.

Hello,
check here under "plugins location":

Do you have the Kontakt 7 or 8 VST3 installed?

What is your exact Mac computer type and what is the exact version of your OS ?
Be sure that you are using latest version of Native Access for your OS
Please check the following :
ALL NI apps including NTKDaemon must have full disk access. : How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS
and disks must be of correct format : Notes on Network Drives and Disk Formats
And quote Kymeia : if using Sequoia then N.I. apps must be added to the Local Network
Also then do not use Clean My Mac.

Actually no sorry I can't. :(

That’s probably the cause, the Kontakt plugin is either not installed or not setup correctly
Can you see the VST3 in the plugins folder?

Here is the article for mac, @Kymeia is absolutely right about the plugins.

yes I do see the kontakt 8.vst3 in the VST3 folder (Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > VST3)

Nothing in that article worked for me either :(

Ive noticed kontakt is no-where to be found within komplete kontrol, i definitely have kontakt installed. weird.

All you need to do now is show us the Locations tab of that plugin window and we would have this all sorted.
But for reasons unknown - and now across two different threads on the same topic - you are unable to show this to us.
