ReactPress path never created when I download plugin

I want to add a react app to a page in my wordpress site. I was able to get reactpress working on my dev environment using WPlocal. However, when i build the app and try to place is into the /public_html/wp-content/reactpress/apps folder in my prod wordpress website,

1. public_html/wp-content/reactpress/apps path doesnt exist the wp-content folder doesnt have ‘reactpress’ folder.
2. I tried creating the path ‘public_html/wp-content/reactpress/apps’ myself and adding my project to public_html/wp-content/reactpress/apps/portfolio/build but then i got to the Reactpress plugin and it still says “t seems you don’t have any React apps created. Go to….”

Is ReactPress not compatible with my version of wordpress? (v6.4.2)? Or could it be some permissions with php that aren’t met? I tried following the youtube tutorial but it doesn’t use a non local prod server so I’m not sure.
