Any fix for the app not getting correct PMS version?

After linking the app with the code at plex.tv/link the app is giving error telling me that I need to update my server to a newer version. It thinks that I am running a version prior to 1.5 but I am actually at version 1.10.4602. I was at 1.7… when I first linked the app but when I checked the version on the server and saw there was a newer version I went ahead and updated it. Either way however the server version was > 1.5 which the app says it requires. I can use the Plex app on my Samsung Smart TV and can use it from my browser on my PC with no problems. PMS is running on a headless Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS server.
