Ableton project: recover patch settings (currently on init, want previously used patches)

Newly on Windows 11. Newly re-installed Vital. My track was using certain presets / patches in the Vital VST. All the tracks using Vital are now set to Init Preset. How can I recover the patch information I used previously? I do have backups of the .als in many stages.

Edit: I may have been using external patch banks. I will try to load any and all patch libraries I have on my PC. Does anyone know if that might automatically fix the issue?

From a data preservation perspective, how does Vital know what patch to use for a given Vital instance living in an ableton track? Surely that patch definition or file location is stored somewhere.
