Can't install Windows store app package (0x80070005)

I tried to install (Ubuntu app) using windows store
it starts fine for a few seconds then it stops and gives me an error

0x80070005

Then I tried to download the package using store.rg-adguard.net
I get the same error as well

PS G:\ubuntu win> Add-AppxPackage
cmdlet Add-AppxPackage at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

I opened PowerShell as admin. The user is also admin. I also opened the Administrator account. I also have full control over the directory the package in and the place it should be installing (/program files/windows apps). I even changed the installation directory using regedit to (/program files/microsoft-store) which is a new directory I created and of course I have full access. But nothing works.

How do I install the package??
