First Gimp is not Photoshop. Trying to make it look like PS does not make it PS. There are no adjustment layers, there are no effects layers. Whatever effect you need is done in a different way.
Do you mean the plugin layerfx.py As the name infers, it will apply an effect to a layer, typically something on transparency. It does work, this using Gimp 2.10.22 (and the PhotoGimp replacement user profile). screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/obaYMOc.jpg (hmm..not much room for layers )
This is an old plugin, all those "effects" can be created in different often better, ways.
Have you installed the flatpak Gimp by any chance ? Then the PhotoGimp flatpak addon?
For a flatpak, plugins need to be executable and go in the user profile (hidden folder) ~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
otherwise for a regular installation ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
