Lenovo Not connecting to wireless networks

I know similar questions have been asked before but solutions aren't working in my case. I bought a brand new Ideapad 5 15ITL05, without any OS. Initially, I installed Xubuntu 20.04 on it, then the touchpad was not working and also the wifi networks were showing but not connecting.

Then I installed Xubuntu 21, the touchpad started working but the wifi still gives the same error that the password is incorrect, which is obviously not because it is a hotspot from my mobile. I tried installing drivers from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html and also followed this https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/intel-wifi.html but no luck.

WLAN + Bluetooth™ - 802.11ac 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0, M.2 Card (taken from product specifications)

some of the info about the wifi adapter and the things I tried -

Finally figured it out, there was some issue with my mobile phone. It is connecting if I created the wifi hotspot without security in my mobile phone but not if it is protected. I tried this with another device and it connected successfully even if the network is password protected and no wrong password warning this time. Also, the touchpad is working fine in ubuntu 20.04

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
