Updating to the adwaita-icon-theme-legacy-46.2-3 package seems to resolve some issues.

Edit:-

sudo pacman -Syu adwaita-icon-theme-legacy

If I may speculate, I’ve heard people complain about Manjaro because it delays certain updates to verify that they’re stable, so there can sometimes be a mix up between app versions and dependency versions depending on when they get approved by Manjaro.

Some of the reasons a package may be held back would be to avoid such complication; to ensure compatible package versions are finally released to Stable in unison. I believe impatience is the key factor to understanding where most of these complaints might originate.

Personal opinion only.

I’m not super terminal savvy

This is nothing that can’t be rectified by a little research; and there are plenty of resources both within this very forum; and without.

Basic BASH commands are always a hoot to start with:

• BASH Manual

Plus, learning commands specific to Manjaro (or Arch) is sure to be beneficial;

• System Maintenance - Manjaro
• Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro
• Pamac - Manjaro
• pacman - ArchWiki
• and much more…

All it takes is a willingness to learn;
something sadly lacking in many newer users.

Good luck.
