Missing Polkit Agent for GPU Screen Recorder?

Hi! I installed the new Flatpak for GPU Screen Recorder, and the option for installing the Shadowplay-like UI gives an error about not having pkexec installed (I do) or a polkit agent running. Any ideas how I may fix this? I seems to just need to prompt for root password. I tried running the flatpak as sudo just for the installer, but it ends up erroring out about not finding the GPU.

Any answers I find regarding a polkit agent either say "you don't need to run that yourself" or are for Arch. Found a couple posts suggesting it's not an option on Bazzite, but I see others getting it to work, so I'm clearly missing something.

cant replicate (and i used it today), also flatpaks are 100% separate from the host, nothing we do on the host will fix an issue the flatpak has as they are isolated from the host.
