In Origin you can right-click on the game and then choose "Locate Game". That should find it in Origin.

Thank you for letting me know @valtrex28.
In that case, could you uninstall the game through the Windows settings, make sure that Origin and Steam are launched as an administrator and then reinstall the game?
Annnnnnnnnnnnd that did it. I also changed my installation library in Origin to my Steam library while I waited for the download. Thanks!
Still a bit odd though. I closed the game to fix an audio issue, went to replay it and had to close Origin and reopen it as an admin again to get the game to run, but at least it does run now.

In that case we can try to make Origin always open as an administrator:
- Hold the Windows button on your keyboard and press E
- Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
- Right click on the Origin application
- Choose Properties
- Go to the Compatibility tab
- Place a checkmark at the Run As Administrator box
- Press Apply
