LiDAR Point Cloud Support doesn't work after plugin enabled

Hello, I have a strange problem. After I enable the LiDAR Point Cloud Support plugin and restart the engine, the plugin doesn’t seem to work. I am unable to import the LiDAR scan in .e57 format - it keeps saying when I drag it to Content Drawer “Failed to import… Unknown exstention ‘e57’”. I tried importing it as well but the file format is not listed. It basically acts like the plugin wouldn’t be enabled.

The LiDAR scan is definately fine becuase I was able to import the very same file to the same version of Unreal (5.2.1) without issues on a PC computer at work, but on my MacBook Pro M1 Pro laptop, this issue persist. I tried disabling/enabling plugin several times, restarting engine, computer, start different projects, change location of projects, rename LiDAR scan, uninstall and reinstall the full engine, but nothing worked.

Would anyone know what could be the issue or how to troubleshoot this? Thanks.
