Python VLC Pathing Issues On Windows 11

So I am running into the following error when trying to import the VLC library into Python. I am fairly new to Python, so any detailed help would be appreciated. This is on Windows 11.

I have done the following debug:

Installed 64-bit VLC

Installed 64-bit Python3.7

Added PYTHON37 and PYTHON37/Scripts to the Environment PATH variables.

Checked the pathing and the vlc.py does exist in the directory listed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "program.py", line 39, in <module>
    import vlc
  File "C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python37\site-packages\vlc.py", line 210, in <module>
    dll, plugin_path  = find_lib()
  File "C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python37\site-packages\vlc.py", line 166, in find_lib
    dll = ctypes.CDLL('.\\' + libname)
  File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.2544.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 364, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

I also tried the fix by adding the following variables, and instead we would get a "Fail to find module" error
