vCenter 6.5 will not register vsphere replication host

Issue:

After a loss of power to the main host the old vCenter replication VM would not register with vSphere replication VM, also the original vCenter was having issues.  After reading some articles I decided to remove both VMs (replication and vCenter) after doing this I recreated the vCenter VM and registered my 2 hosts and it is working normally.  I go through the steps of installing the vSphere replication OVF and everything works great but when I log out of vCenter and log back in to see if it has registered the plugin it has not.

Versions:

vCenter: 6.5.0.10000 build 5973321

vSphere Replication: 6.5.0.1104 Build 4633956

this datacenter consists of 2 hosts on for just replications of the first host

any help with this would be fantastic, thanks

And I solved my own issue,

just for anyone that is interested it looks like the plugin was not registering so I went to home=>administration=>client plug-ins and noticed the replication plugin was not there, did a check for new plugins and it appeared and I am currently replicating.

thanks,
