Google Spreadsheet Web Automation actions stopped working

I have a process that needs to load a Google Spreadsheet, send a click action to the File tab:

Then It uses a Hover mouse over action to hover the mouse over the Download selector:

And then select the excel sheet option:

The process worked up until a few days ago, but now it is not finding any of these elements. When I checked if I needed to update the CSS Selectors/UI elements on PAD, I can't even select any element within the Browser.

 

Also, I know about Google Sheets and Google Drive connectors (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/googlesheet/), but I don't have access to the Google Folders where the sheets lie, only to the Google Sheet URL, and the Google Sheets connectors seem limited in their scope.

 

I'm currently moving processes from Process Robot to PA, in case this is relevant, but I was testing the different parts of this particular process, and the Google Sheets download function/subflow worked up until a few days ago.

 

Thanks
