MacBook Pro 2017 wifi cannot authenticate

So I installed Zorin Pro on my MacBook Pro 2017 and during the install it prompted me to input my wifi password, and it seemed to work fine, but after booting into the Home Screen, the wifi stoped working, if I try to connect it can't, i then connected my phones hotspot so I can install the latest updates and drivers but still I I'm not able to connect to wifi, I also run Zorin Pro on a HP laptop and the wifi on that device works flawlessly.

I also connected an external wifi adapter to the Mac and tried to connect through that device but couldn't, I'm thinking this could be something with my AP but any other device connected to the network works fine.

If you have any suggestions or fixes, that would be greatly appreciated

Does your mac have an Ethernet port you can try using it!

Yes, currently I'm using my hotspot from my phone, because I don't have an usb-c to ethernet adapter
