Can't install powertools on RHEL 8.5

I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to setup my RHEL 8.5 VM machine.

NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux
VERSION="8.5 (Ootpa)

I'm trying to install some scripts for course, and it is giving an error that PowerTools can't be found

No matching repo to modify: powertools.

I have tried several solution in other posts as follows:

# dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
# dnf upgrade
# dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

The first three commands execute and my system is updated but the last command is still having same error:

Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Error: No matching repo to modify: powertools.

When I try to get repolist, it is not showing powertools

# dnf repolist
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

I hope someone can help. Thanks.

There are no exactly "powertools" in RHEL. That's a CentOS alternative name to the trademarked "CodeReady Builder" repo from RHEL.

In RHEL, you enable it like so:

sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

If codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms already shows up in "yum repolist", consider that you have "powertools" already enabled, no action is needed.
