Did you place the .ucode file you downloaded back into the /lib/firmware directory, then rerun modprobe -v iwlwifi?
Gday @Ellis , Welcome to the community!
I see it's self built pc.
Could you please tell us the;
Motherboard Brand=?
RAM size = ?
Graphic's card = (AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL)?

You may have deleted more than what needed to go - you may need to sudo apt install linux-firmware and if already installed, sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware
oh sorry about this
Easy fix 
its done should i reboot ?
Yes - after any change I reboot. Even updates haha not always but most times.
Great
,
As it's a ASUS board you con open you pc into UEFI,
To do this restart the pc & keep tapping the F2 key until you get the UEFI screen.
To update the UEFI, goto "Advanced & look for EZ??? or something to do with "Firmware"/ "Updates"/etc... follow the prompts..
To check for wifi setting's also maybe in "Advanced Or in conf....
Can i ask how long since you installed Zorin OS on this PC?

Can you post the output of cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf? If it gives you permission denied, use sudo cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf but shouldn't need to.
OK normally ASUS has an update in UEFI,, you may need to look up your motherboard to find how to update UEFI firmware,, this is a needed update.. More so as it's a built pc & new...
What program did you use to create the bootable device with? Rufus/ balenaEtcher/etc ?

Rufus I get worried updating the bios because I know it can corrupt

/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first
remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.
remove iwlwifi
(/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod)
&& /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211
BIOS updated is a must.... i assume it maybe upto date but just wish to check.. in BIOS you should see what version your on. what version is it?
& whats the exact MB model?
