Unable to copy and paste onto Kali Linux on vmware fusion using macos

I am running Kali 2021.1 on vmware fusion 12.1.0 on a macos 10.15.7. 

I have installed VMware Tools to facilitate file sharing between the host and guest OS and my mac keyboard function like command + c, command + v ; copy and paste don't seems to be working on kali linux anymore. I am also unable to copy from my mac to paste on the kali linux os. 

Have been trying to look for solutions for the past few days including trying the following commands out:

 

apt-get update

apt install -y --resintall open-vm-tools-desktop fuse

reboot

 

The copy and paste plugin also seem to be working as seen from the attached.  

 

Not sure what is the issue now
