HWinfo could not initialize or has no sensors_New X870E motherboard #2769

I've been trying to use Fan Control and I've not been able to take control of the fans connected to the PWM fan headers on the motherboard which is not surprising since the Gigabyte X870E motherboards just released a few days ago. Even Aida64 can't read CPU and fan speeds either. I have HWinfo installed and the plug-in is in the plugins directory. I have Lian Li SL-Inf fans but only the lighting is connected to the Lian Li controllers, the speed control wire s are connected to a PWM header on the motherboard. I have three sets of fans and an AIO, one set of three 120mm fans is connected to the CPU fan header, one set of three 140mm fans are connected to the Sysfan_1 fan header, and one set of two 120mm fans connected to the Sysfan_4 header and my AIO pump is connected to the Sysfan_5/Pump_1 header. While in Fan Control when I click on Pair Speed Sensor I'm only showing two sets with active RPMs and sliding the slider to stop the fans does nothing to either one of the sets of fans, I guess it's getting that info from HWinfo...not sure. In HWinfo it can read all of them with no issue. Also worth mentioning, when I click on Refresh Sensors Detection it comes back saying HWinfo Could Not Initialize or Has No Sensors but HWinfo is running (I paid for a license) and Shared Memory Support is on. All the fans are set to PWM in the bios so I don't know what's going on with it. Here's a report from LibreHardwareMonitor attached. Please help me with this someone.
