Missing Arnold Options in Hypershade Menu

Hello!

 

I'm having trouble finding any of the Arnold options in the Maya Hypershade window. In the Hypershade window I only have "Maya" under the favorites tab and nothing else. If I click "Create" there are no options for Arnold textures or shaders, and the search tool was unhelpful. Every tutorial I've watched have had these options already visible onscreen in the hypershade window, so I'm uncertain how to get them there in the first place. Any help would be appreciated. I've attached screenshots of what is missing and what the hypershade column looks like on my screen.

 

I've used Arnold before briefly, and redownloaded the latest version to try to fix the issue but nothing has shown up. I'm pretty sure it's all buried somewhere and I just haven't found it yet or haven't formatted my screen correctly.

I was able to fix the issue by going into Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager, searched for "mtoa" and checked it.

 

Well, I feel silly.
