Unable to export to Dfine 2 from Lightroom

I am using the latest Nik Software for Mac M1 and the Dfine export from Lightroom does not work. I am trying to export a Nikon full frame .NEF file and the result can be seen in the attached screenshot. This does work fine from Photoshop. Any ideas? [Screen Shot 2022-04-28 at 3.34.34 PM]
