Running MGear on Multiple Mayas

Hey quick question
Been using Mgear for a while on Maya 2022, but looking at some point to get Maya 2024
I decided to run both concurrently but have had some trouble to get the mGear menu to appear in the menu along the top in 2024’s

I’ve performed all the pymel shenanigans to make it work in 2024, run the checks in the script editor to see if the pymel is present - seems to be the case…
(for that I highly recommend this video
and I think that is not the issue

I get this on the drag and drop

// Installation Complete
// Error: RuntimeError: file C:\Users/iansh/OneDrive/Documents/maya/2024/scripts/site-packages\pymel\internal\pmcmds.py line 217: deleteUI: Object ‘mGear’ not found.

Anyway I guess I’m trying to future proof mgear as it’s just so good for use at my place

I effectively ran mgear_4.0.9’s installer on 2022 to update that- no problem, menu appeared
then hoped to run it on 2024 to do the same - it warned it would update but I don’t mind as it’s new and the latest update- what I’m finding is the menu doesn’t appear… I thought the module would get shared as it lives top level in the Documents/ Maya folder structure

Best wishes
