gazebo fails to load ign_ros2_control-system plugin

edit

gazebo: gazebo citadel ros distro: foxy installed binaries: ros-foxy-ignition-citadel,ros-foxy-ign-ros2-control and ros-foxy-ign-ros2-control-demos

I was trying to setup the <ros2_control> tag for my robot to use with the ign_ros2_control/IgnitionSystem plugin, however when I try to spawn the robot into empty gazebo world, I get the following error message in the gazebo terminal

lukas@DESKTOP-QRS1BRB:~$ ign gazebo empty.sdf
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-lukas'
[Err] [SystemLoader.cc:66] Failed to load system plugin [ign_ros2_control-system]: couldn't find shared library.

here is the <ros2_control> tag

<ros2_control name="IgnitionSystem" type="system">
    <hardware>
      <plugin>ign_ros2_control/IgnitionSystem</plugin>
    </hardware>
    <joint name="link_1_joint">
      <command_interface name="position">
        <param name="min">-15</param>
        <param name="max">15</param>
      </command_interface>
      <state_interface name="position"/>
      <state_interface name="velocity"/>
      <state_interface name="effort"/>
    </joint>
  </ros2_control>

   <gazebo>
    <!-- Joint state publisher -->
    <plugin filename="libign_ros2_control-system.so" name="ign_ros2_control">
      <robot_param>robot_description</robot_param>
      <robot_param_node>robot_state_publisher</robot_param_node>
      <parameters>$(find inobot_config)/config/ros_controllers.yaml</parameters>
    </plugin>
  </gazebo>

None of the demos work neither, when I try to launch the cart position demo I get the following output with no working system

Let me know if this is not the right place to post this issue as I am unsure if this is issue with gazebo or gz_ros2_control, however I keep getting the same error msg (i.e. Failed to load system plugin) for other plugins such as diff_drive, camera, imu

Here is the output of the launch.log
