I've been trying to setup my Clojure dev environment with Vim, note that I'm still very new to vim but I've managed to know the basics. I've installed pathogen which has helped me get a bunch of plugins to work right off the bat. However I can't make vim-clojure-highlight to work, I've followed the README on the its repo, vim-clojure-static comes with vim as far as i know and fireplace is already installed as well.
I've made sure a repl session (boot repl) is running before opening a .clj file, I've also tried running :ClojureHighlightReferences manually within a buffer with a .clj file but still no success, this is how it looks like including clojure.core.async aliased as "async"
Vim color pallete is solarized dark and I've also installed luochen1990/rainbow for parenthesis coloring. I noticed that the vim-clojure-highlight repo hasn't been updated in 6 years, is this still even usable? Currently I'm using vim version 8.1.2269 within Konsole on Kubuntu 20.04. Any help/advice is appreciated, thank you!

:scriptnames
command? (Please edit the question to include its output.) When you run:ClojureHighlightReferences
do you pass it any arguments? Do you receive any error messages or does it just succeed without changing anything in highlighting?
