Hopefully the original poster sees this so he can update the mod page, for some reason Shadow of War has a very annoying user copy protection, but you can get around it with this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBz8z2fbzuU
It does use CheatEngine, however CheatEngine will not get you VAC banned on steam if you use it for single player games I can confirm. Also when downloading CheatEngine, it may worry you that it is detected by certain antivirus softwares as a virus, but I will also vouch that it is not. If you are worried about it at all, I vouch for it, but if you don't want to use it thats up to you, but I don't know of any other ways to transfer save files.
I watched the whole thing and get the jist. My problem is this. What is the steam ID?? I assumed it was the number next to your default save. I took that number, put it in front of the save file from this mod and replaced the other one. And whenever i would do the cheat engine, after uusing the hexadecimal calculator. the pointer value would literally equal out to what i already had.. Did it work for you? did you do something different?
It sounds like you may have had the save files backwards if the decimals equaled the values already, if not though the only other thing i can recommend is the time sensitive nature of it
Because I found it, go to %LOCALAPPDATA%/WB Games/ShadowOfWar/<user-id>ShadowOfWar.sav . This is how its laid out for me so I don't know about you but I hope it helps.
