Other Anima loras seem to work just fine for me in Invoke and the lora causing this is works on ComfyUI just fine but not in invoke.

The loras having this issue like the one I linked are known to work in ComfyUI. It does not appear to be an issue with the lora itself but possible with Invoke.
Is there an existing issue for this problem?

What happened
I keep getting this error when loading certain Anima Loras like this one: https://civitai.com/models/2662268/toony-e621 and trying to use it with Anima Base and finetunes.
