Plugin fails to load resulting from dll version conflict

After installing the new USD plugin update for 2023 I noticed one of my plugins would not load.  If I load my plugin from the plugins folder before the usd plugin loads from the programdata directory it runs.  However if it is in the ADSK_APPLICATION_PLUGINS directory which loads after the usd it will fail.   I narrowed it down to a 2023 hdf5.dll file  that usd uses and a 2020 hdf5.dll file from the gdal libraries that my plugin uses.  I was under the assumption that a plugin would look in its own directory for dependents.  However this is not working for me therefore I assume I am missing something.  Any ideas on how to force my plugin to load the version it needs?

 

Thanks
