Fata Error on Picture Upload and Unable to Import Uploaded Pictures from CSV

I have both the base and premium plugin hosted on AWS using a bitnami NGINX AMI and I have SSL and everything up and running. Overall the whole plugin works but I am experiencing 2 issues that related to images that may be same root cause. First I am unable to get the test profile photos imported to the member profiles. I have the image files uploaded to the correct location in wp-content/uploads/tmp/photo_import/ but when it gets to the point where it says ‘Photos Import: 0’ and has the spinning circle, it never progresses and sits like that until I refresh or change pages. When I check the members the profiles are installed but no pictures.

If I try to upload a picture using the admin dashboard and member list to upload a picture to that profile or if I login as a user and attempt to upload a picture to my profile I get the fatal error below.

WordPress version 5.5
Current theme: Divi (version 4.6.0)
Current plugin: Rencontre (version 3.4)
PHP version 7.4.8
