Why would game designers do that? To break all existing physics documentation?

So I'm struggling with my version of principia (Principia frege for 1.7.3), for some reason I do not have a select target vessel or switch to button, and every video or screenshot I see has editable text at the top of the main principia screen but mine is just a label of the version. https://imgur.com/a/SLoMD5H can anyone help please? Been waiting
<Webchat857>
almost a week for a reply on the forums and have just been waiting to use this mod :(
<Webchat857>
Should I just try and find a version of Frechet? That version seems pretty unstable too so idk, maybe I just need to be patient with this mod for a while longer <3 will check in some day
