Broke adb on Raspian 11 while attempting to upgrade to newer version

I am attempting connect to my Android TV (an Nvidia Shield TV Pro) using adb from a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian 11. I had initially installed adb using:

 sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

This installed an older version (v28.X.X) that is incompatible with the Shield. I confirmed that adb was installed and working by running:

adb --version

I then attempted to upgrade adb to a newer version using the files found here. I used wget to download the android-sdk-tools-arm.zip, unzipped it on the pi and copied the adb and fastboot files to /usr/bin/. I realize now this was a mistake as now when I run adb --version I get:

/usr/bin/adb: No such file or directory

Clearly I've messed something up. If I try to remove and reinstall adb with apt-get as I did initially I get:

adb is already the newest version (1:10.0.0+r36-7).
fastboot is already the newest version (1:10.0.0+r36-7).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

And still I get the error when trying to check the adb version.

If anyone could help me out here I would appreciate it! My goal is to install the v35.0.2. of adb and fastboot found here.
