Providing an update: It was found that the corporate proxy was preventing the binary download for node-sass.

The plugin was able to install locally, however, it does not appear on the console plugin list as discussed in this post:
I installed the simple react panel (https://github.com/grafana/simple-react-panel ) and it does not appear in the plugin list on the Grafana console after restarting grafana-server.
Prior to this I installed Node.js (v12.18.3), yarn (v1.22.4), and node-sass (4.14.1), copied the folder simple-react-panel-master into the default plugin directory /var/lib/grafana/plugins, and specified the default directory in the config file grafana.ini under [paths].
