You have two Java installers mounted on your Mac, and attempting to install Java for OS X 2017-001 (32-bit), which is incompatible with Catalina, and clearly cannot be installed into a Java 8 Update 231 installer. That explains all of the yellow badges shown. If you remove the Java for OS X 2017-001, then an attempt to install Java 8 Update 231 (64-bit) will likely succeed provided there are no other issues.
