so as it turns out, the path was set but I has to shut down computer and
restart. kinda surprised to have that happen on a UNIX based system but,
there ya go.

macOS is based on UNIX but has been “improved”. In this case, for the PATH to be updated with the addition contained in the /etc/paths.d/TeX file, the path_helper utility has to be run. This is done so in /etc/profile. Therefore you need to either source /etc/profile in the current shell or open a new shell, which of course is what happened when you restarted.

it all works splendidly now.

If you installed MacTeX or BasicTex then your PATH would have been
appended to by a file TeX, which contains the path to the current TeX
binaries of /Library/TeX/texbin, in the directory /etc/paths.d. If that
file doesn’t exist, then you will either need to create it with those
contents or add the path /Library/TeX/texbin to PATH by other means.

if someone has a fix for this, that would be great.
