1.18.2 Embedded Mods Not Loading

I have been trying to load these mods for a while and have come to the conclusion that embedded mods aren't loading, due to these errors in my log file:
[11:41:30] [main/ERROR]: Missing or unsupported mandatory dependencies:
    Mod ID: 'dragonlib', Requested by: 'createrailwaysnavigator', Expected range: '[1.18.2-2.1.13,)', Actual version: '[MISSING]'
    Mod ID: 'flywheel', Requested by: 'create', Expected range: '[0.6.10,0.6.11)', Actual version: '[MISSING]'

For both of these mods, the dependencies are built in - Embedded within the mod. the mod with ID dragonlib is not available on curseforge and the requested version of flywheel is not available on curseforge. What surprises me (a small amount) is that the dependencies are missing, rather than an incorrect version. I have reason to believe that something is wrong with forge or this computer, as no one seems to have had this problem before (there are no available records of such problem, so this is what i assume) and both mods already worked in other game instances fine yesterday. It could be anything from a Windows Update to an error in forge configuration files, which is why i am posting this here. And if i thought it was more like a Windows Update i would have posted this on the minecraft forums instead of here.

I have a post on the minecraft forum here relating to the bigger crash which has caused me to find this problem.
