Did you make any manual changes to your game folder (i.e., not via CKAN)?

Thanks. You probably have a DLC folder without the DLC files. Check <KSP dir>/GameData/SquadExpansion for empty folders and remove them if found.

TYSM, let me try it

Also, I really did try to look and I didn't just randomly check it, just saying this so I don't sound like a jerk lol.

Don't worry about it. It's often hard to know what to search for to find a previous bug report. In those cases, submitting a duplicate can sometimes help because other users who search for the terms you use will be able to find your issue instead.

I had my DLC off, works like a charm! (Edit:) I feel like this should have been one of the first things I checked, but I thought it was a CKAN problem not KSP related lol.

@mizar1, that's correct, this was a bug in CKAN. It has been fixed, but the fix will be in a future version.
