Failed to open VDI with new VirtualBox

I had to nuke my computer and reformat my hard drive because of a virus and i copied a snapshot of my VirtualBox VM. I made the mistake of not cloning and just copied the vdi file from the snapshot folder. Now i'm trying to create a new VM with the vdi file and get this error:

Parent medium with UUID {178c8048-144b-4dcf-a1ad-b661402a911a} of the medium 'C:\Users\Ethan\VirtualBox VMs\aluminis{d1676259-419a-47cc-aac5-3f4c32a0e0da}.vdi' is not found in the media registry ('C:\Users\Ethan.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml').

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MediumWrap
Interface: IMedium {ad47ad09-787b-44ab-b343-a082a3f2dfb1}
Callee: IVirtualBox {d0a0163f-e254-4e5b-a1f2-011cf991c38d}
Callee RC: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)

I tried running internal commands to set the parent uuid:
VBoxManage.exe internalcommands sethdparentuuid "C:\Users\Ethan\VirtualBoxVMs\aluminis{d1676259-419a-47cc-aac5-3f4c32a0e0da}.vdi" {178c8048-144b-4dcf-a1ad-b661402a911a}

I got the confirmation that the UUID had changed, but i'm still getting the error.
