Use the flatpak command to install flatpaks, don’t download them manually.

For example, flatpak install gimp

I know this isn’t addressing your issue directly, but may I ask why not install these apps (Gimp, OBS, Telegram, etc), from Arch packages, or AUR?

For example:

sudo pacman -S gimp obs-studio telegram-desktop

100% - I was asking things I already knew a bit about and a lot of the advice was not only wrong but also was the worst way to do it
