Salient Install Troubles (HELP PLEASE)

I had some time on my hand and decided to go and update Wordpress and my site when I noticed it had been some time.

I got wordpress update just fine but when I went to do a clean install of Salient everything went sideways (I should have hit preview live site. I didnt).

After some database adjustments I was able to get the Wordpress site back up and running but no matter how I uninstall the Salient theme I get the following error on on the Live Preview.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in [PATH]/html/wp-content/themes/salient/functions.php on line 5703​

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your best solution to this is by contacting the theme author -> https://themenectar.ticksy.com/
