Skyrim VR stuttering

So last night was my first time getting to know PCVR and how to get it to work, hopefully this helps someone. I bought Skyrim VR and Virtual Desktop and thought thats all I needed, tried to play skyrim, wouldn't work, looked it up and I needed SideQuest. Alright so I downloaded that. SideQuest couldn't detect my headset so I looked it up, guess you have to connect the computer to the headset itself, I did that and SideQuest recognized my headset, perfect. Still wouldn't load skyrim, so I looked that up and I downloaded SteamVR. After that SteamVR wouldn't even work at all because I needed to download the Oculus Quest software onto my computer so I downloaded that and FINALLY, after restarting my computer, connecting the headset to the computer again to detect my headset, then enabling wireless mode, removing the cord, booting up virtual desktop, getting into steam vr and going into Skyrim, IT WORKED. Butttt...... every second, it stutters, look around and it'll sometimes judder or hitch, its definitely not in any way unplayable, but it ruins immersion and I also dont want everything to be so ugly blurry, but right now, smooth gameplay is all I care about. I havent done anything with the settings except I turned off dynamic resolution in game, and tried messing with latency and framerate settings in virtual desktop menu. I have an MSI Gf63 thin 9sc core i5 gtx 1650maxq with 8gb of ram and it claims to be VR ready, and aparently vanilla skyrim isn't very demanding to begin with. The juddering and hitching could be a hardware problem but the STUTTER is too consistent at 1 second intervals that it has to be software related. My guess is that wirelessly my headset is maintaining connection at that same rate and experiences a hiccup, I dont know if its because its SteamVR cause I've seen a lot of people complain that its the client, or if my issue is that im not playing via wired connection. I dont have a link cable, but if anybody has any and all ideas on how to fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. If its necessary, I can try to play a different vr game maybe separate from steamvr if that would help narrow down the problem.

That’s not an answer. What fb dosen’t want to tell you is you have to either buy their 69.99 cable at target or use a 3.0 native with a a high end usb-usbc. Funny meta considers fb a “big word” all hail the Zuckerberg.
