Problems with designated Macro file path and macros running off server

Question

Having an issue where my workflow with quickbooks macro runs completely fine in designer with the macro being saved to my C drive which is only accessible by me. But when I try saving the Macro in a designated macro folder and the running it on the server it says it cannot find the macro. And when I try updating the user macro settings and it designating that specific folder it gives me errors.

what would be the issue if they both arent appearing in the workflow dependencies only one of them is?

Both macros should be saved outside of the macro directory - and you should be able to choose both macros in your workflow dependencies. If you can add them as workflow dependencies (and do) - and your workflow still can't find them when executing - you may be encountering a non-Macro related - ie the macros might be working but something else is off.

Already checked the box in the manage workflow dependencies, and I have the macro saved not in the alteryx standard macro directory but one that in theory i was told would work if I saved it on the server. I should also add it is a nested macro with the quickbooks macro as its first macro inside of it as well if that may shed some light
