The new answer by @Cibes is a better alternative imo, you might want to consider accepting that instead.

Run
sudo journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell
and look for errors associated with the extension while trying to enable it.
Also sometimes an extension works alright if you just manually add your GNOME shell version (which is not officially supported by the extension) to the extension's metadata.json file.
To do that (if you have installed the extension not as the root) go to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and look for the directory associated with the extension. Open it and you should find a metadata.json file inside. Open the file, add your GNOME shell version under the "shell-version": section and save the file. Relogin and if you're lucky the extension may start working.

lg, then Return. - go to the "Extensions" section
- search the relevant extension and click on "Show Errors" for it
