JavaFX Modular set up with Apache NetBeans 12.3

So I've been following the getting started with javaFX tutorial to try and set up a modular FX project on apache netbeans, but I can't seem to figure out how to add the FXML files and CSS files. I managed to create a separate javaFX project that is non-modular with FXML and CSS files: non-modular ver

I did this by right clicking the project and creating a 'new empty FXML' file. However, I don't see this same prompt when clicking on my modular project. basically for my modular project what I did was right click org.openjfx(the name of the package the tutorial made me make)-->new-->other, from here I tried to look for a JavaFX category (followed this youtube tutorial) but couldn't find it.

Would be really grateful for anybody who knows how to add FXML and CSS files to a modular project in netbeans! Thankyou

also here is the error code I receive when running the main class without configuring FXML or CSS files

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module format not recognized: C:\java projects\javafx-sdk-16\lib\src.zip
C:\Users\themo\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\12.3\executor-snippets\run.xml:111: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users\themo\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\12.3\executor-snippets\run.xml:40: Java returned: 1
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

EDIT: There was a really helpful answer on how to build a modular project using Maven but I'm still open to anyone who has a response about building it directly from the IDE.

You are correct to follow the tutorial from getting started with JavaFX tutorial. I would suggest using JavaFX and Netbeans: Modular with Maven. Once you have created a project, right-click on the package you want to put the Controller into. Select New -> Other -> JavaFX -> Empty FXML. Name the FXML file. Hit Next. Select Use Java Controller. Hit Next. Select Use Cascading Style Sheets. That should do it.

Right click on your project,click Properties Then run and add this to VM option :

    --module-path "C:\path to java fx sdk\lib" --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml
