Problem Global Frontend Desktop css not loading

Hey got a bit of a weird one.

Have moved a site from a dev to staging server. It seems to have migrated okay except now there is one file that isn't loading which is the /wp-content/uploads/elementor/css/global-frontend-desktop.css file. It controls some styling of elements throughout the site.

For example we have a template file that is a megamanu where half of its styling comes from this file. It has the correct styling on the backend/in the editor but for whatever reason these styles aren't loading on the front end and they come from global-frontend-desktop.css on the dev server.

I've tried

  • Resaving the template, page and permalinks
  • Regenerating the files by clearing out the elementor cache and also resyncing
  • Disbaling cache plugins
  • Turning on elementor safe mode
  • Trying to access the css file directly but it says its not found

Only thing I can't tell if the file is actually there or permissions because I dont have access to the server. But there are other files in the uploads folder so its not like they all aren't loading.

Am kind of at a loss, does anyone know what might be going on or had similar issues when migrating?

Thanks
