ssh-slave plugin does not work after Jenkins update

Hello support team,

I recently patched our Jenkins servers and Jenkins got upgraded from  2.332.3 to 2.346.2. After the upgrade, all agents went offline. After some investigation, I figured none of the agents have the option "launch agent via ssh" which is provided by the ssh-slaves plugin. I tried downgrading Jenkins to its older version but I run into errors. Also, On the newer Jenkins version, there is no way I can downgrade ssh-slave since the only supported version is the latest one. Can you help me understand how can I fix this? 

Here is the Jenkins and plugin details on working Jenkins master vs nonworking Jenkins master.
