Failure to cook template geometry Houdini and City Processor

I keep getting this when I use newer versions of houdini like 20.5. On 18.5 everything builds and PDG gets generated without errors but the thing is it doesn’t have an unreal plugin compatible with UE5.4 ( you have to use UE 5.0 ) and I don’t wanna use UE5.0

Curious if anyone has gotten things to work with newer houdini and unreal versions and what they did ( apart from the existing threads and video solutions I’ve see like City sample in houdini can't process and export - #136 by sss1337xyz )
