Unable to install widget

Updated to Plasma 6.0 recently and trying to install this widget.
Installing directly from "Download New Plasma Widgets" is simply not working without any kind of message.
Attempting to install downloaded file plasmoid-panel-modes-switcher-v0.1.1.plasmoid results in "Installation Failure" error dialog simply saying "Installing the package /home/lgm/Downloads/plasmoid-panel-modes-switcher-v0.1.1.plasmoid failed."

I don't know which command is used to install plasmoids so I don't have any logs
