The Stack option `local-programs-path` can be set in Stack's project-level YAML configuration file (`stack.yaml`) or its global-level YAML configuration file (`config.yaml`) - see https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/yaml_configuration/#local-programs-path.
I think this is unlikely to be the solution, but if you delete `7z.dll` and `7z.exe` in Stack's programs directory (its location reported by `stack path --programs`), Stack will fetch the most up-to-date version of 7-Zip (that is a recent development).
