Serana Dialogue Add-on doesn't seem to work

PC SSE - Help

I'm using MO2, placed the mod at the highest priority order/bottom of the list, and sorted the plugins with LOOT. I've double checked everything, made sure that SDA is enabled in both the mods and plugins panel. I also downloaded the SDA patch just in case and as far as I know, I have no follower-altering mods such as RDO. The only "follower" mods i use are follower trap safety (if you would count it as one) and Interesting NPCs (again, if you count it as a follower mod). Aside from that, there are none.

Initially, I installed the mod on an existing save file where I have completed the Dawnguard questline and saw no changes to Serana whatsoever, with the exception of her voice being changed. No new dialogue options. Just her voice being different.

I figured installing it in an existing save file must've broke the mod somehow so I made a new save and speedran through the quests until Chasing Echoes (the Soul Cairn visit quest). Still, to no avail. I also saw a comment in a reddit post saying that for them, walking away from Dimhollow Crypt or fast traveling anywhere else with the exception of the castle triggers some of the new lines. So, i reverted to another old save, where I was outside Dimhollow Crypt, and did just that. Nothing changed.

I don't think I've installed it wrong either, nor am I missing any requirements coz SDA has no hard requirements. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
