Import powershell module fails

Can somebody explain what did I miss?

I'm trying to import NTFSSecurity PowerShell module.
The folder is extracted at C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\, and I've also changed the execution policy.

I'm still receiving the following error: My system is running on the Windows 2008R2 operating system with PowerShell 2.0 installed

PS C:\Users\admin> $env:PSModulePath
C:\Users\admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\

PS C:\Users\admin> get-module -ListAvailable -all

ModuleType Name                      ExportedCommands

PS C:\Users\admin> import-module NTFSSecurity

My issue was I was seeing this errors only during the azure devops pipeline deployment and so, I tried uninstall and re-install az modules and removed azurerm but nothing worked till I installed powershell 7.4.1

Run your shell as administrator(elevated prompt) and unblock all the files in NTFSSecurity folder.
