Have you tried to install the Ubuntu instance directly over PowerShell?
wsl --install -d Ubuntu-20.04
When the instance is rolled out properly, you should see it in the list:
wsl --list
You can run the session with (When its your default session.):
wsl

I think the package itself should be saved under this path: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages
Example from my computer: C:\Users\myUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc

You can also try to share the error codes you got. :)
You can also check out the doc to WSL
