Team city error: Selected archive doesn't contain teamcity-plugin.xml file. Follow

I am trying to implement a plugin on a local host of Team City. I have downloaded the most recent version of the plugin as a zip file and went to add the plugin in the plugin list. Only to be met with the error: "Selected archive doesn't contain teamcity-plugin.xml file" but I know that this plugin has the teamcity-plugin.xml file in the teamcity-plugin-resources file. what can I do to fix this issue.
