Missing Alchemy Data for Logic Pro X 10.5.1 on my Mac Mini 2018

This issue has been plaguing me since the 10.5.1 Logic update. Every time I open Logic on my 2018 Mac Mini, I get a slew of errors regarding Alchemy. I have checked and rechecked via the sound library manager that all Alchemy data is installed. As far as I can tell, the missing data hasn't affected my ability to use Alchemy. Here's a quick youtube video of what's happening:

OR you can read through the dialogue boxes below with my comments:

Logic Pro X Alchemy Dialogue Boxes

Now what's even weirder is I have Logic on my 2013 MBP and it opens fine with no dialogue boxes. So I thought I might be able to find the files that my Mini needs on my MBP and just drop them in the proper locations. Problem is, they don't exist on my MBP either! I'm hoping one of you brilliant experts has an idea for me to try!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

SOLVED! There was an old component (Alchemy.component) that needed to be deleted. Path:

/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

This immediately fixed the issue. The version for this component was listed as: "Alchemy 1.55.0, © Camel Audio 2012" and it showed it was last modified in 2013.
