I got an error in EA app after reinstalling a Steam Game

I bought Star Wars Jedi fallen order through steam. Was working fine until i uninstalled it to clear space, a few weeks later i chose to reinstall through steam. However when i tried launching it the EA app had an error (shown in screenshot attatched). The error was:

Couldn't launch STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ Deluxe Edition

The app is trying to download STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen OrderTM Deluxe Edition, which you previously installed through Steam. Cancel the active download, and then try relaunching the game from Steam.

(CANCEL DOWNLOAD)

To my knowledge the cancel download button made no difference and further attempts to launch through steam showed no differences

According to the ea app Jedi Fallen order was not even installed even though it clearly was on steam

Should also note that the game was moved to a hard drive sometime before uninstalling and it was reinstalled to this hard drive. I also have Jedi Survivor but that was never uninstalled and has shown no issues
