Powerpoint Add-in

I am having difficulty trying to add an add-in to my PowerPoint app, Version 16.43. When I go to the add-in screen, under office Add-ins it only shows MAY ADD-INS and STore, I do not see admin, which appears on my other mac computer2, I did a side by side, comparison of settings. I did go into the store, found the add-in I wanted, but when I try to add it, I get a msg, there is an error, doesn't say what error.


I was able to add this add-in on the mac2, but not able to add it to my mac 1. I looked up troubleshooting and followed instructions, but I continue to have issues.


Under user in setting, I am listed as admin....


Please advise.
