I am arcgis pro 3.0.3 desktop and would like to share a toolbox, that contains a python script tool, I created with a coworker. On my computer, I am able to open, run and utilize this tool without any issues at all. When I share the toolbox, my coworker can add the toolbox to his map project, and open it but gets an error that it is unable to open the toolbox when he runs it.

Feel free to download the folder containing the python scripts and toolbox. The screenshot also shows that the toolbox does exist on his computer. I will try to summarize the tool as best as I can.
The MRV plots generator was created to randomly generate between 9-11 plots/points within a boundary that can be of any shape or size (can also be a multi-part polygon). It will take into account the acreage of the boundary and mathematically calculate the initial spacing of the points to try to get to the right number of plots. To further randomize, it will shift and rotate the points by some random amount/angle. It works great on my computer, but I need to be able to share it!
It has some hacky python scripting because I am a novice at this, but I tried to put in a comments to help describe the process. The mesh points creation, the rotation and shifting of the points is all using tools developed by @DanPatterson_Retired which were huge in making this tool possible.
Toolbox has an alias, so I know that isn't the issue. The line that brings in the toolbox is
arcpy.ImportToolbox(
r"{}\American Forest Foundation\FAMILY FOREST CARBON PROGRAM - Documents\Geospatial Library\_MRV cross-regional\Plot_generator\MRV.atbx".format(os.path.expanduser('~')))
I have the expand user bit in there because it is saved on OneDrive and the start of the pathname changes based on the user. This is where I am guessing the problem lies, but I am lost on how to fix it.
Any assistance is appreciated, thank you!
