VR mod help

I'm struggling to set up the Fallout VR mod with my Quest Pro - I can't pick anything up or figure out how to configure for seated mode and when I get to the Attaboy there's a load of stuff about how I can change settings in FRIK including seated mode but the interface just gives me a load of lines on screen saying "corrupted data". I can't seem to find a FOLON-specific setup guide anywhere - does anyone know of one or know how to configure things properly? Thanks.

Red Strain vs main game endings question

I don't want to fully spoil myself hence asking advice. I'm nearing the end of The Red Strain & the main story and want to destroy Oberon and the Red Strain! (Keene ending). Based on dialogue I won't be able to go back and do Oberon so logically I need to complete the main story then go back to finish RS. But I have read that if you do destroy Oberon you can't finish RS. Is there a way to destroy Oberon AND the Red Strain? Without giving any details, does Keene's ending accomplish both?

Thanks. Really loving this game.

New prop being used in Season 5

The new contingent of Marines are armed with a new white-coloured rifle with a visible air tank on it which some have assumed (edit - quite sensibly since they do mention using "rubber bullets") is intended to be a less-lethal weapon to pacify Happy Valley. It's not. It's the Hatsan 'Blitz' full auto Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) air rifle - https://www.airgunseurope.com/hatsan-blitz-full-auto-pcp.html

With the iron sight setup removed and replaced with this optical sight - https://rmacleod.co.uk/vortex-razor-amg-uh-1-gen-ii-holographic-sight-002387/

I can't take screencaps using Apple TV unfortunately but you can pull up 42:00 and get plenty of good looks at these things.

Edit - It's still possible that in the show these are supposed to be for less-lethal use, or they are dual-purpose, or maybe the "rubber bullets" are just to prevent penetration of spacecraft hulls etc. We will hopefully find out.

Here's the dialogue:

"Teams three and four will insert here an assault through the substation, clearing any opposition using nonlethal means. I say again, flash bangs and rubbers only. We do not want to risk any ruptures in there."

In real life it's lethal at close range - up to 72 joules in its 7.62/30 caliber form - in theory enough to penetrate a skull at close range. And it would put holes in important things like spacesuits. In-universe it's quite possibly meant to be more powerful - modern larger caliber air rifles can generate basically modern handgun ballistics, albeit they are even larger in caliber than this (.357-.50 cal) and would not be capable of full auto which I'm guessing is going to come into play when they actually shoot these things. Interesting choice given the potential limitations of conventional firearms in a vacuum (not that they are likely to get used in vacuum in the show but may have influenced the choice to move away from the classic M16A2-based white rifles from Season 2 (or rather some modernisation of same). Alternatively the concern may be not putting holes in spacecraft.
