How do I resolve the linker error with 'cv::face::LBPHFaceRecognizer' in my OpenCV C++ code?

Unresolved External Source in OPENCV C++ Code with cv::face::LBPHFaceRecognizer.

I have OPENCV code which acts a trainer that takes a directory full of face images. I am running this on OpenCV 4.2.0 with the OPENCV contrib 4.2.0 library. I am also running this on the newest version of Visual Studios.

#include <iostream> 
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <filesystem>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <opencv2/face.hpp>
#include <opencv2/face/facerec.hpp>
using namespace cv;
using namespace cv::face;
using namespace std;
namespace fs = std::filesystem;

void assurePathExists(const string& path) {
    fs::create_directories(fs::path(path).parent_path());
}

int main() {
    Ptr<LBPHFaceRecognizer> recognizer = LBPHFaceRecognizer::create();
    CascadeClassifier detector;
    detector.load("C:/Users/781932/Downloads/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml");

    string datasetPath = "C:/Users/781932/Documents/STEMVisageVision";

    vector<Mat> faceSamples;
    vector<int> ids;

    vector<string> imagePaths;
    for (const auto& entry : fs::directory_iterator(datasetPath)) {
        if (entry.is_regular_file()) {
            imagePaths.push_back(entry.path().string());
        }
    }

    for (const auto& imagePath : imagePaths) {
        Mat img = imread(imagePath, IMREAD_GRAYSCALE);
        int id = stoi(fs::path(imagePath).stem().string().substr(1));

        vector<Rect> faces;
        detector.detectMultiScale(img, faces);

        for (const auto& face : faces) {
            faceSamples.push_back(img(face));
            ids.push_back(id);
        }
    }

    recognizer->train(faceSamples, ids);

    string trainerPath = "trainer/trainer.yml";
    assurePathExists(trainerPath);
    recognizer->write(trainerPath);

    return 0;
}

After cleaning and rebuilding the solution in VS, it is pretty apparent that the code itself is fine and has no errors. However, I am getting errors regarding the build.

There seems to be an issue with the the cv::face::LBPHFaceRecognizer class. I presume it's a linker issue, but I do have everything included in the project properties. What is the issue?
