How to get downloads back onto dock?

So I accidentally was fidgeting around and dragged the downloads folder out of my bottom dock. I found that you could add it back by dragging the folder in, but it is a different setup. The old one pointed straight up and was in order of most recent downloads. I am on MacBook Pro M1. Does anyone know how to get the original downloads dock that is there when you start up the mac for the first time?

In Finder, enable the Sidebar from View, Show Sidebar. Then right click or Control Click on the Downloads folder in the Sidebar, then click on "Add to Dock". You can do the same to the Applications folder and the Documents folder if you want as well.
