Could you clarify what you mean by that? I am not catching how you use the manager in conjunction with Resolve. I am on Windows BTW.
I have both MacOS & Windows workstations & the operations are identical for ADSR - though as I have posted earlier: the Win installers allows you to install anywhere, ie, in my case on a dedicated sample libraries SSD; in the case of MacOS installer the dir is fixed, ie, in the system /Movies folder. That can be ignored & moved for ADSR.
1) Go to the ADSR plugin site & there are video guides there.
2) Download and install; this comes as a standalone application as well as in various plugin formats; Resolve will use the VST2 plug (in Windows).
3) Open the standalone app, 'point' it at your sample libraries location (and/or nested folders) one of which might be named as 'Fairlight Sample Library'. Give it a little time to learn that, depending on how much library you have - spinning update cursor indicates 'learning'.
4) Open Resolve, open Fairlight, make (say) an Aux, or a Bus, or a blank audio track for that matter; name this aux/bus/track 'ADSR', or 'Sample Library', whatever you like.
5) Insert the ADSR plugin in on that aux /bus or track.
6) Open the plug and use it to find the sample you want - via keyword, tempo, key, favourite, name etc.
7) Drag and drop the sample on a track.
Again, all of this & more is covered in the ADSR documentation. Resolve then opens & uses the plug-in just like any other DAW or NLE.

Not sure what your local problem might be there, but re. the MacOS installer, it operates consistently here, ie, run the installer (remembering to answer and check any of the dopey Security Pane prompts & especially on Catalina) - this installs both the samples themselves and what appears to be PG DB files into the top dir of ~/User/Movies folder. In my case with ADSR, have simply moved the samples dir to a dedicated SSD, then deleted the Movies folder dir. NB that this will no longer work with Resolve's onboard PG DB-based library search, but instead with the ADSR plugin.
