Honestly this adapter is not well supported, that’s why you’re having issues with it, you can try to manually install its drivers but it might still give you issues with packet injection and monitor mode, I never used this chipset either so I can not give you exact installation steps.
As mentioned in the course requirements you need a powerful adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection, checkout the adapters on the following link, they all support monitor mode and packet injection:

If you’re not sure which one to get the checkout the adapters video in the resources of lecture 11, here is a link to it anyway:
