Thanks Robert for your reply, I am using the Bitnami AWS instance and is using the documentation as per https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/discourse/configuration/install-plugins/, ideally it should have worked but not sure why it isnt able to identify the assets.

Yep please use the official Discourse builds instead. Use of Bitnami is at your own risk.
Thanks for you assistance, sureā¦I will set that up on Digital Ocean and will confirm if issue persists.
This Plugin is broken with Fakebook theme.
You could equally say Fakebook is broken with this plugin? 
We support core Discourse and if a theme works, great. If not, you are probably out of luck.
Whilst we make great efforts to optimise compatibility we canāt promise all themes will work with our plugins. Especially those combinations where our plugin and the Theme are both changing templates.
If you want to use a Theme with this plugin choose a lighter weight Theme that has less or no impact on layout.
Fakebook already has its own sidebars and almost certainly wonāt have been designed to work with this plugin (otherwise why doesnāt it use the CL sidebars?). It is also targeting core Discourse no doubt. Youāll probably have to choose between them. Or, use CL and borrow elements from Fakebook and design your own Theme.
Thereās currently a Chrome limitation that prevents us fully exploiting Topic List Previews with sidebars. Watch this spaceā¦

Itās currently broken, for some reason.
** INCOMPATIBLE PLUGIN **
You are unable to build Discourse due to errors in the plugin at
/var/www/discourse/plugins/layouts-topic-list
Weāve removed it on our site.
The plugin has just undergone a significant update.
https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-layouts/commit/a47cf304684baac5f380ba25a49c86f33858159d
You can now add theme components as widgets (in addition to plugins). Iāve updated the widget youāve been using to support v0.2
https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-topic-list/commit/548503d6c01622afe5ca17fc63da343d4ab7ba5d
However I would recommend the new theme version of the same widget (with some functionality improvments and changes)
https://github.com/paviliondev/layouts-topic-lists-widget
Generally the plugin is moving away from using plugins for widgets to using themes. Full documentation to follow in the next day or so.
Note that the plugin now has support for group-specific permissions, so make sure this is set in /admin/layouts.
This plugin will also soon be moving to the same update schedule as our other plugins; see further:

Itās GREAT NEWS! I just written the same to another person, and suggested, that we moved to a theme-component based solution. Thanks for the update!

When I update Discourse to the latest version, Theme Minimal - The Plugin is not working.
My Forum: Https://babyforex/net
Hey, welcome
Can you give me some more specifics on the issue? What widgets are you trying to use?
A key thing to note is that the plugin now has enabled and group settings for each widget. Thatās the first thing to check.
Iām still working on the documenation for v0.2 (literally right now!), and v0.2 wonāt be officially launched until the next Pavilion Plugin Update Period: 2020-04-30T14:00:00Z ā 2020-05-04T14:00:00Z.
If you look at try.thepavilion.io youāll see that the plugin is working successfully with the current version of discourse (just updated): Layouts - Try Pavilion

Hi Angus
My forum show blank page when I update to Latest Discourse Version. I use minimal light theme.
I just updated try.thepavilion.io to the latest version of both Discourse and this plugin and it has no issues. See e.g. try.thepavilion.io/c/layouts
Are you running the latest version of the plugin?
If you are running the latest version of everything, can you go to /logs and send me a PM with all the latest logs and a full list of the plugins youāre using
Hi Angus

You need to update the layouts-custom-html plugin to this commit
https://github.com/angusmcleod/layouts-custom-html/commit/3a319aca670f83ad23da9982fa9d4236300dca29
Note that the plugin-based widgets are generally being phased out in favour of theme-based widgets. Iāll be release a theme-component that replaces this plugin in the near future.

I had to change a few functions to get my plugin to work again.
Mainly using
layouts.createLayoutsWidget. and DiscourseLayouts::Widget.add

Weāre facing a problem, after the latest update. Itās reporting that Discourse.SiteSettings is not defined. Is it direct, og indirecly related to this plugin?
(Iāve just rebuilded our page)
Update:
Retort are generating the same issues. Iāve disabled Custom Layouts from our build, but hereafter, Retort reported the same problem with Discourse.SiteSettings ā¦
Thanks Tobias, itās due to this change in Discourse:

Oh my Iām amazed the previous code ever worked! Those site settings were evaluated at module read time, which could be before the app has booted. Your new solution is now much cleaner and future proof

Newly realised the power of this plugin, and really love the new direction it has taken with widgets based on components. Thank you @angus 
Tested it quickly on a site but realised there is a compatibility issue when used with other theme components that injects themselves between the header and the main content; the sidebars gets stuck/sticky to the height including the height the injected theme component, rendering the sidebars floating in the middle or lower half of the screen.
Also - when I include the Layouts Topic Lists Widget in the active theme and activate it in Layouts, I get a white page and have to deactivate the Layouts plugin and rebuild to be able to fix.
All the best
