[WORKAROUND]Gnome extension settings window auto closes with pop shell

Yes, its pretty much the Subject title,

I had Pop shell before but reinstalled arch Today for another reason it worked fine with the settings untill i installed pop shell.
I believe something within gnome was updated in the latest arch version wich could have caused it to fail, maybe?
Anyways this is the Aur Package i uses:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnom … -pop-shell

I tried resetting extensions (gnome-extensions disable --all,, gnome-extensions reset, dconf reset -f /org/gnome/)
and also tried to remove pop_shell extension but gnome wont let me remove it
since its considered a "system extension".
I also tried to verify my Gnome shell packages but everything was fine.
I also tried to reinstall my shell with this command 'sudo pacman -S gnome-shell'

Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried everything else i can think of and there is little to no Documentaion about removing it!

Workaround:
install this Extensions manager from the aur:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/extension-manager

Relog in gnome or restart your system.
Then open the New extensions manager and open the settings via this manager.
You need to do that before the crash so relogging is neccesery if you aleready had in crash on you current session
its janky but it works.
