vRealize Orchestrator plugin for vSphere client running vCenter server 7.0.2 incompatible

So in my devlab, I setup two hosts with ESXi 7.0.2 and setup vCenter server 7.0.2 as a VM on top of one of those hosts and also installed vRealize Orchestrator 8.4 as an additional VM. I've been able to configure vRealize Orchestrator to 'add' & 'register' vCenter server as a plugin on the vRO. I have been able to run workflows to reach the datacenter managed by vCenter as well. 

But I'm trying to configure the vRO plugin for the vSphere client without much luck. The current state of the vSphere client is this - I see an entry under Plugins (on the vSphere client) for vRealize Orchestrator version 7.4.0.0 and it says that it is Incompatible because "The plug-in supports only vSphere Web Client (Flash)". A quick google tells me about the issues around vCenter 6.7 and Flash going EOL having something to with it all as vSphere web client that I'm running is HTML5. So I probably have an older version of the plugin? 

Unfortunately, the link below has a subsequent link to download the plugin and that's where it takes me despite selecting the right vRealize Orchestrator version of 8.4 for me - https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Orchestrator/8.4/com.vmware.vrealize.orchestrator-install-config...

And a few further searches resulted me in landing at this page - https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vRealize-Orchestrator-Documents/vRO-vCenter-Server-plug-in-for-vSp...

But even after following the instructions there to download, unzip and restart vSphere UI - nothing has changed. I still see the 7.4 plugin although the one I downloaded is 7.0 - mind you, the versions for the plugins seem different to the version of vRO & vSphere client & vCenter server itself so I'm a bit confused. 

If anybody can tell me what I did wrong to get the right plugin installed for my vSphere client, I'd be grateful. Thanks!
