If you experience an issue go to the "%localappdata%\Helldivers2ModManager\Mods" folder and delete the folder
mod, it might fix your manager instalation.
The old mod manager is full of bugs and you should stop using it. Same for hd2mm.
Also, the mod works well with Arsenal, the new and improved mod manager. I
advise you to switch for it as the old mod manager is deprecated now.
