It asked to install it in 3 areas
Without seeing the terminal output I don't understand that.
I think it only installed it 1 as the other 2 we’re giving errors but it’s complete now. Do I need to reboot? It didn’t ask me to.
You shouldn't need to.

I checked all my connections on my plasma I installed a cnc interface bird and cable and all looks good all was plug and play. I disco the interface cable coming from plasma and the flickering stops I messed with the divider pins going from 16v to 30 to 50 with no change still was flickering. Not sure what it is I spent a lot of money on the interface board and cable that is meant to go with my machine.

If you disconnect from the plasma cutter and the flicker stops then it must be coming from the plasma cutter. Is it possible that the wiring at the plasma cutter end is wrong.

Wow that is odd. There seems to something wrong at the plasma cutter end then.
Check ALL the connections at the plasma cutter and also that the CNC interface card is wired in correctly.

One thing I did notice that I was still able to fire my torch from the pulse button. If something was wrong with my arc ok wouldn’t that not let me fire the torch?

Not necessarily, the Arc OK signal is just an output that basically tells you current is flowing.
