How to get SVG file produced with nVennR to open properly in Adobe Illustrator

I'm working with RStudio and using the nVennR package to create diagrams to visualize data, but the .SVG file produced comes out completely skewed in Adobe Illustrator CC. What can I do to make it display properly?

I've used the example code provided in the nVennR vignette and everything goes smoothly until I output the .SVG file.

install.packages("nVennR")
library(nVennR)
sas <- subset(exampledf, SAS == "Y")$Employee
python <- subset(exampledf, Python == "Y")$Employee
rr <- subset(exampledf, R == "Y")$Employee
myV <- plotVenn(list(SAS=sas, PYTHON=python, R=rr), nCycles = 2000, outFile = "TestExample.svg", systemShow = TRUE)

The above code opens the produced .SVG file, but the shapes don't look anything like the way they should. The file written with outFile still doesn't work.

I installed the Magick package and was able to use it to display the diagram in the Viewer pane, so it seems that RStudio is able to pump out everything properly, there just seems to be an issue when opening it with Illustrator.

install.packages("magick")
install.packages("rsvg")
library(magick)
myVprint <- image_read_svg('TestExample.svg', width = 1000)
print(myVprint)

The grImport2 package will let you run showSVG(MBplot, outFile = "MBplot.svg") and outputs a plot in the Plot pane. From there, exporting as a PDF through the pane gives a file that's completely editable in Illustrator.
