Apple watch - family sharing apps

Hiya, my mom set up the wpple watch series 7 for me on her iphone as i only have a Samsung and not an iphone. Everytime i want to download an app on the watch for example, blood oxygen app.. it says its purchased and requires an iphone as it says below.

how would i be able to get apps on the watch that requires the iphone, i have tried on the iphone but it doesn't give an option for me to download apps and add to the watch.

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8
