Installing a chrome extension not in web store

Help
1

Am trying to install freemedium. I first tried using fetchFromGithub . The repo doesnt have a packed crx file so I manually loaded it and packed it.
Its building without any error and a file is created at .config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/External Extensions but the extension is not available

{"external_crx":"/nix/store/wvk62c4myk84q3vd7y6ygpijmqdjbr76-bobjpmbefncnijkhhepdacmjebpofeej.crx","external_version":"2.1"}

This is how am currently trying to do it. I

    programs.brave = {
      enable = true;
      extensions = [
        "dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb" # vimium
        "kapjaoifikajdcdehfdlmojlepfpkpoe" # squarex
        "gppongmhjkpfnbhagpmjfkannfbllamg" # wappalyzer
        # {
        #   id = "bobjpmbefncnijkhhepdacmjebpofeej"; # free-medium
        #   version = "2.1";
        #
        #   crxPath = let
        #     src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
        #       owner = "fferrin";
        #       repo = "free-medium";
        #       rev = "v2.1";
        #       sha256 = "sha256-vGtgL7Wv0Z972gniz1x+yjxDQj0ywpMB8RlYxoGtVfw=";
        #     };
        #   in "${src}/extension";
        # }
        # {
        #   id = "bobjpmbefncnijkhhepdacmjebpofeej"; # free-medium
        #   version = "2.1";
        #
        #   crxPath = let
        #     src = pkgs.fetchurl {
        #       url = "https://github.com/sammhansen/free-medium/releases/download/v2.1/extension.crx";
        #       sha256 = "sha256-tkWUjBdPw5kyuKpMSPHDT08RB/RK8VGAhlKK35yey0M=";
        #     };
        #   in
        #     src;
        # }
        {
          id = "bobjpmbefncnijkhhepdacmjebpofeej"; # free-medium
          version = "2.1";
          # crxPath = "/home/tamara/.nixos/home/programs/browsers/bobjpmbefncnijkhhepdacmjebpofeej.crx";
          crxPath = ./bobjpmbefncnijkhhepdacmjebpofeej.crx;
        }
      ];
