Ark dll files ex: xinput1_3.dll / XAPOFX1_5.dll / X3DAudio1_7.dll missing

Took me about 2 hours to figure out how to fix this problem but I did it.
To start check what type of system you have (32x or 64x) after this go to this site https://www.sts-tutorial.com/download/xapofx1_5 and download the files that are missing the files have a 32x and 64x version that's why you need to know what type of system you have; then go to This PC / Windows (C:) [or where you have your windows data stored] / Windows. After that, if you have a 64 system put the files in both ''sysWOW64'' and ''system32''; if you have a 32 system put the files in ''System32'' after this restart the PC and the problem should be fixed. if the problem is not fixed go to where you have Ark stored, go to your Steam library right-click Ark, go to properties / local files / browse local files; in the Ark folder go to ShooterGame / Binaries / Win64 and paste all of the .dll files you are missing inside and that should fix it.
Hope it helped.

I don't like the idea to download from random dll sources, so I searched on the Microsoft site for the DirectX redistributable, and found a directx end user runtime web installer that contains the necessary dlls and installs them: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Probably the same end result though, so thank you!

Andris' solution worked for me. I initially tried just copying the files to no avail.
