System extension block

There's this app I'm trying to get and it's saying that System extension is blocked and to go to settings to unblock it, when I am there though I don't see the thing that allows me to unblock it.

Is your Mac an M1( Apple Silicon)? If you don't know, tap on the apple logo of your Mac, top left corner, and tap, 'About This Mac' and that will tell you what type of Mac you have. Let me know, for I think I can help you.

You need to go to the "Security & Privacy" System Preferences (first tab within this pane I believe), there should be a notice & button near the bottom of the System Preferences with the extension or software listed asking for approval to be installed/used. This button may only appear for a short period of time, so check after attempt to run the app, or you may need to check immediately after booting the Mac.
