Make sure you updated the game before launching SMM. If your game is up to date, you have both U8 and 1.0 installed in the same folder at once, and SMM is detecting the U8 version. To fix this, uninstall the game, delete the game install dir if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM. If reinstalling the game takes too long for you, a quicker fix is to delete the <game install dir>\Engine\Binaries\Win64\FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.version file, though this is not meant to be a permanent solution, as having the game installed twice in the same directory can cause issues later.

I'm gonna quote Mircea here:
You have both Stable and Experimental installed, both being assigned the same profile. Stable is 385279 and Experimental is 273254. Because installing mods is done at the profile level, this means that it will install the mod to both installs, resulting in that error when trying to force install a newer version in the Experimental install
Select Experimental in the game version dropdown in the top left, and turn mods off for it Any allows any compatible version to be installed (prioritizing newer versions, of course), so when that is selected, Experimental gets whatever old version was still compatible with it, while Stable gets the latest
Alternatively, you could simply uninstall the Experimental version and restart the mod manager
