So I found a fix but it doesn't fix the plugin:

Step 1. Download Autohotkey
Step 2. Enable API SERVER
Step 3. Use these scripts:

Pause (Alt+F2):

!F2::
url := "http://127.0.0.1:26538/api/v1/pause"
token := "Bearer YOUR TOKEN HERE!!!!!!"

http := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

try {
    http.Open("POST", url, false)
    http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization", token)
    http.Send()

    status := http.Status

    if (status < 200 || status >= 300) {
        MsgBox % "HTTP Error : " status "`n" http.ResponseText
    }
} catch e {
    MsgBox % "Error: " e.Message
}
return

Play (Alt+F3):

!F3::
url := "http://127.0.0.1:26538/api/v1/play"
token := "Bearer UR TOKEN HERE!!!"

http := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

try {
    http.Open("POST", url, false)
    http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization", token)
    http.Send()

    status := http.Status

    if (status < 200 || status >= 300) {
        MsgBox % "HTTP Error: " status "`n" http.ResponseText
    }
} catch e {
    MsgBox % "Error: " e.Message
}
return

You can convert them to executable files using the autohotkey app and put them in your startup folder so it launches on startup

To get a token, make a post request to http://127.0.0.1:26538/auth/shortcuts. For windows users, open command prompt and enter this command :
cls && curl -s -X POST http://localhost:26538/auth/shortcuts | powershell -Command "$json = [Console]::In.ReadToEnd(); $obj = ConvertFrom-Json $json; Write-Output $obj.accessToken"

Just disable and re-enable the plugin whenever you change hotkeys. It works permanently even after restart.
