tried to run the command, but then got this error:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

This is the specific error, zorin-os-default-settings 16.3 has created a file (/etc/skel/.config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu) which xubuntu-default-settings also wants to write in that same location. Apt sees that 2 files are trying to overwrite each other and it quits.

You can either remove zorin-os-default-settings, which might still give the error since the file will still be in place, but the owner is gone, so not really sure. Or you can install xubuntu-default-settings_20.04.4_all.deb with the force.
Code:
dpkg --force-all -i  /var/cache/apt/archives/xubuntu-default-settings_20.04.4_all.deb

idk, too bad the
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure - a
and
Code:
sudo apt-get install
commands got bricked, and I removed the packages files already, so now it's corrupted. Got help from the Xubuntu team on the IRC chat platform though, they said I need to do a fresh reinstall of the OS, so that's what I'll do. Thanks for the help!

That is the recommended advice for people presenting with gunshot wounds to both feet.

I regret shotting myself in both feet, but whatever, at least I learnt something out of this.

Ok, reinstalled Zorin OS now, will this work or will I have to reinstall again for the 2nd time?

Edit: tried that command, there's an error:

Well the same actions will give the same result.
Why are you trying to install an incompatible package?

What error?
The above info has nothing to do with your dpkg adventures.
