I am unable to download assets with the Quixel Bridge plugin, and there are associated issues. Please help me.

I am working with UE5.2.1. I tried to download assets using the built-in Bridge in Unreal Engine, but I received the warning ‘Asset not available in UAsset format’ and could not download them. I read that the issue might be related to switching to Fab, but since I cannot download the Fab plugin for my version, I tried deleting the Quixel Bridge plugin. After doing so, many assets in my scene lost their material textures and turned into black meshes. Even after reinstalling the Quixel Bridge plugin, the colors did not return. I’m a bit panicked. How can I restore everything to its original state?

When I reset the settings of the “Make Material Attributes node” in the material function of the parent mesh of the Static Mesh that turned black, I was able to restore it to its original state! I’m not entirely sure why, but it seems that when I deleted Quixel Bridge, somehow the settings here got changed. Therefore, instead of re-importing the problematic static mesh or manually linking materials and textures, I was able to fix the issue just by reviewing the settings.
