Even if I jump through hoops and do the fix outlined in the post you sent, this doesn’t resolve the fundamental problems with the product, chiefly among them game compatibility, design (they interfere with distance to eyes, per NextGenVR’s review).
Go on Youtube, every review of the eye tracking modules is negative. I can’t find a single positive review:
Not just youtube, but the forums, and the product’s own product page. The product maintains a 3 star average review score by intentionally keeping up a duplicate completely generic 5 star score that seems dubious at best:

I Do Think the technology behind it is awesome! Personally I dont think enough games support this , but I only have a handful of vr games. I works somewhat on dirt 2, only the right lens will work correctly as the left lens will dumb down the whole view in low resolution. Unfortunately my fave shield had to be modified. I didnt have any pads that would work well with my glasses so I had to use one thin and one thick foam so my glasses wouldn’t touch the eye tracker. I am more optimistic about the eye tracking for the pimax 12k. I might change my rating as I try using it for other games like Alyx and project cars 2. This did not work with automobalista 2"
All of the reviews are one star, there are four 5 star reviews, which are actually duplicates of two 5 star reviews:
The 5 star reviews:

The Future: Brought to You by Pimax!
Way ahead of its time. I love the boldness of this company and the risks they take. If it were not for these risks it would take A LOT longer to get innovations like this. I do know with advancements like this you really need GPU headroom to get the most out of the products and all of its attachments. Technically speaking the eye tracking module should make it easier on your GPU and decrease the relative entry point, but I didnt get the 8K Pimax without full intentions of taking it to the extreme so its the sole reason I upgraded my PC with the 10900 and 3090. This company does rely slightly on intuitive users but rest assured there are guides everywhere if you need them. Take care and have fun!

If it wasn’t for these four 5 star reviews, which are actually duplicates of two 5 star reviews that you either created on purpose our have intentionally allowed to remain up, the average review score across 14 reviews would be 1.5 stars.
We aren’t stupid children. We are enthusiasts who typically have a lot of experience behind PC’s in general. When you treat us like stupid children you lose credibility.
This is why I have exactly zero faith the Pimax 12k will ever see the light of day and if it does it will do so with half of the features currently advertised.
