vCenter Plugin no longer registered

[tkutil115]

I just realized that my nimble vcenter plugin is no longer showing up in vcenter. i have two vcenter environments each with its own nimble array. I tried to redeploy to each vcenter which looks OK on the nimble side but in vCenter i get a plugin failure. 

errors from vCenter on the plugin installation
