Stock G5 Quick Remote App Uninstalled?

I just purchased a Tmo G5 and was very happy with it - after having to download a third-party equalizer because my Play Music Library sounded like garbage... but that's irrelevant.

Having owned an LG G2 back in the good old days, one of my favorite features was the IR blaster and the QRemote being built in directly to the status bar. I decided to go through my app drawer to find the app to setup, and it isn't there.... I checked the app drawer in the google now launcher (my full-time launcher), I went back to the stock launcher and searched through all of the pages, and I went through the apps in the settings; nowhere to be found. I opened the "quick help" app and searched "ir", and saw a result with directions on how to set it up, except it tells me to open a factory installed app that my phone mysteriously does not have... I contacted LG and they told me that they have no idea why it could have gotten uninstalled or removed, but that I would need to get an APK from some third party source to make it work, since QRemote is neither on the LG app store, nor the Play Store.

I have been using a Play Store app that works as a remote, but it has no option for my soundbar, it has ads, and it seems to use a very unreasonable amount of battery (I want the factory QRemote :crying:). Basically, when I search for any APK for the QRemote online, I find versions for lollipop or before (mostly for G2 and G3), and none of them actually install on the G5. Does anyone have any sort of functional link to an APK that will work on the G5? Thanks so much.

Oh and factory resetting is a last resort, and apparently it won't restore a pre-installed app that has been removed (great).

Thanks again for your help.
