SX OS is having errors recognizing any XCI, NSP, or NRO files. I can't even install SXDumper. Nothing is working. If someone could please leave a detailed list of things I need to install for SX OS to install my backups and to install the correct homebrew. that would be much appreciated. I have the sd card formatted to exFAT and I have everything in the /switch folder.

You need start by learning how to use homebrew. You also need to learn about Emunand and other options available. Highly recommend Emunand. Tutorials on this site. NRO is an executable file that goe in /switch/(yourfile).nro These files are not installed they are ran from the sd card. XCI and NSP can be installed from SX menu ( going to album icon) by the install tab . SX Installer is a program used to install XCI and NSP files with better options . Some newer games like ACNH will give an error"higher firmware needed" in that case use Tinfoil.nro until SXinstaller is updated.

Both things can be installed directly from the SX Album menu. They just need to be in the correct folders for them to show up and install. Those locations should be in the manuals that were shared above.
