Can't Update Firmware

Hi I bought this VESC based on the MakerX miniFOC from Taobao. When I connect it to vesc_tool it says that the VESC has old but mostly compatible firmware. When I go to the firmware tab to try and update the panes where (i assume) the firmware versions should be is completely empty. When I click the firmware update button it says "this version of vesc_tool does not include any firmware for your hardware version". I see at the bottom "Hw: HW_60_YONG_FW_5_2_V_3", so it seems vesc_tool thinks this is incompatible with a normal HW_60? Even in the archive tab the Files pane is empty no matter the firmware version I select.

I probably don't have to update as I am actually just using it to run a brushed DC motor but I am curious about it
