mmseqs prefilter error: database has wrong type

Hi, I am trying to annotate virus contigs ( 5kb and above) identified via virsorter2 and deepvirfinder. However the mmseqs prefilter throws the following error:

[14:07:34] Executing genomad annotate.
[14:07:34] Previous execution detected. Steps will be skipped unless their outputs are not found. Use the --restart option to force the execution of all the steps again.
[14:07:34] final.vcontigs.fixed_proteins.faa was found. Skipping gene prediction with prodigal-gv.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Input database "/home/user/database/genomad-1.5/genomad_db" has the wrong type (Generic).

Allowed input:
- Index
- Nucleotide
- Profile
- Aminoacid

I tried by re-downloading the database, and changing the output directory but had the same error. The database files were manually downloaded and extracted to /home/user/database/genomad-1.5 Environment info
