[PC] Bring Down the Sky installer can't detect main game

I'm moving my games over to a new PC running Windows 11.  I installed the game on my new PC using the EA Games app, and I got the DLC installer off of the EA website, but when I tried to run the EXE, it says it can't find the main game and won't install.  This might be because I didn't install the main game in the default directory that the EA Games app was initially set for, but I'm not sure.

I tried the fix suggested at this link, but it didn't work: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Mass_Effect#DLC_installers_error_.22Mass_Effect_is_not_found.22

    "Bring Down the Sky" should be part of the main installation by now. 
    Did you checked in game for the DLC? 

    Alternatively you can go to "<drive>:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Mass Effect\DLC" folder.

    There you should see two folders, "DLC_UNC" and "DLC_Vegas

    "DLC_UNC" is "Bring Down the Sky".
