Ok, so for anyone else with this issue, I figured out a fix.
First, reset to a earlier save from before you even entered mount valor and got the jenner cutscene.
Next, make sure you go to telia resort and enter the manor to trigger the melia cutscene. Then, go upstairs to talk to venam.
Only after you have finished that should you go and magma drift into mount valor. You will know it worked because someone will talk to you after you enter and give you emotion powder.
