I have been following this guide to try and install a theme on my system: https://linux.how2shout.com/installing-gnome-tweaks-in-ubuntu-24-04-linux-to-customize-it/
the guide says it is for Ubuntu 24.04, but GNOME Tweaks looks completely different compared to what is shown in the guide (the light mode screenshot)
Has GNOME really changed this much in less than 2 years? All of the relevant settings cannot be found.
I tried installing `gnome-tweaks` `gnome-shell-extension-manager` and `dconf-editor` I am not finding any such setting in GNOME-Tweaks to enable a custom theme.
What am I doing wrong?

Update: I tried to copy the themes to the themes folder (I had to run Nautilus as root to gain the permission to do this) the themes are showing up now, but they are on the wrong dropdown list (icons) and not a separate 4th field. I could not find a .themes folder, so I made one at root, but it doesn't do anything. Attempting to load any of these themes causes the system to immediately reach 100% CPU usage across all CPUs, so they aren't installed correctly. What do I have to do to make the custom theme field show up.
For reference, I got my themes from here: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/

Another update:
Installing the User Themes addon from the GNOME Shell Extension Manager enabled the option I need. Now all I need to figure out is how to properly install the individual themes.
