SWS Reapack HELP!

MacBook Pro M1*
I’ve downloaded both SWS and Reapack for Reaper and placed both into the Plug-ins folder. apparently, after doing that you restart reaper and there should be an extensions tab that appears but after so many tries it still hasn’t showed up. What am I doing wrong?
HELP! I don’t want to give up

New to it

Hello helpful people.

I recently got a MacBook so I’m taking this seriously. Going back to school for audio engineering in Fall.
I downloaded reaper because of all the praise it gets for being very versatile and compatible with reason 14, which I’m purchasing very soon. In the meantime, I’d like to find some quality, free VSTi that I can produce a rap beat for a friend with. Drums, sub-bass, experimental synths, etc.
It will also be good to crash course because I’m so used to older versions of reason and really want to see what reaper is capable of.
Any input is appreciated and I plan on sticking around this subreddit to share and learn.

My music video got limited on ads/TikTok etc... due to visuals and maybe lyrics, looking for honest feedback on direction

Hey,
I’ve been making music for a long time, but I haven’t really used social media in years. Back then, things felt a lot less restricted than they are today, so I’m a bit lost with how platforms work now.

I released a new music track with a visual concept built around fast cuts, masks, and strobe-like intensity.

The issue is that I can’t really get it promoted on YouTube, and TikTok also rejects it. Even short cut versions (Reels / Shorts style edits) don’t seem to get accepted or pushed properly.

YouTube and TikTok don’t really explain clearly what the problem is, just vague restrictions, so I genuinely don’t understand what is causing it.

I’m wondering if the issue comes from the visuals (strobe effects, masks, editing style), the lyrics, or both.

The lyrics are in French, but I can provide an English translation if needed.

I’m considering rebuilding a cleaner visual version of the same track, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback on what might be blocking it or making it less “platform-friendly”.

Here’s the video :
