Can't link to libcs50

Running on an intel mac, after running sudo make install on the library, and compiling a basic c file:

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
  string res = get_string("> ");
  printf("%s", res);
}

I get an error that it can't load the library libcs50-11.0.2.dylib (I run clang main.c -o ./a.out -lcs50)

dyld[67961]: Library not loaded: libcs50-11.0.2.dylib
  Referenced from: <2CE4BD41-8453-3EDB-BBF4-70AD89B6C454> /Users/jacoboneill/Programming/cs50x/01/notes/user_input/a.out
  Reason: tried: 'libcs50-11.0.2.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OSlibcs50-11.0.2.dylib' (no such file), 'libcs50-11.0.2.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/jacoboneill/Programming/cs50x/01/notes/user_input/libcs50-11.0.2.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Users/jacoboneill/Programming/cs50x/01/notes/user_input/libcs50-11.0.2.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/jacoboneill/Programming/cs50x/01/notes/user_input/libcs50-11.0.2.dylib' (no such file)
[1]    67961 abort      ./a.out

After trying all the troubleshooting steps (setting C_INCLUDE_PATH, LD_LIBRARY, LIBRARY_PATH) nothing seems to help. I found a hacky way by running ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcs50-11.0.2.dylib ./libcs50-11.0.2.dylib (as it said it tried to search for it in the local folder in the debug). This works but I feel as though probably not the intended way to do it.

I can't tell if I did something wrong, or if there is something wrong with libcs50's makefile.
