Sketchup 2022
Is there any way to manually insert real path into SketchUp plugin -
No, it detects your install path. At least it does for the vast majority.
Can you try repairing you SU install? Download the .exe and use Run as Admin to install it with correct permissions to read/write. Pick Repair when you run the installer

I've already tried this operation Manu puppy maybe the problem arose after I upgraded Windows 10 to Windows 11 and in any case everything works perfectly sketchup except Sketchauction.

TIG may know a way or have a version that can help. I'm outta ideas on why this is happening...

If SketchUp is installed properly [i.e. Installer exe used Run as admin, or a Repair has been done] then the default Plugins folder path is set up automatically.
Our toolset uses the path to that as the default.
Any other paths [other than the Tools folder and Ruby folders, are deduced from your SketchUp settings...To check what SketchUp is doing please open SketchUp and open the Ruby Console [from Extensions > Developer...].
Type [or copy/paste] the following + enter and report the results...
Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
Again I get "C:/Users/TIG/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/SketchUp/Plugins"
Then try...
SCF::PLUGINS
From our settings again I get... "C:/Users/TIG/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/SketchUp/Plugins"
To see all possible Ruby path options set up within SketchUp, please try this...
$LOAD_PATH
I get...
["C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/Tools/RubyStdLib",
"C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/Tools/RubyStdLib/platform_specific",
"C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/Tools",
"C:/Users/TIG/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/SketchUp/Plugins"]
If I has something installed, like a render-app, that went into the ProgramData folder, then that folder would also be included automatically as...
"C:/ProgramData/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/SketchUp/Plugins" -

So your results from the Ruby Console look OK.
When you use the ExtensionStore³ because there's more than on possible installation destination you will get a dialog offering a choice from a dropdown list.
The default is your standard Plugins folder.
You might need to resize that dialog to see the options/buttons...When you use the Plugins Manager the topmost list drop-down will include the possible destinations, again defaulting to the standard Plugins folder...
When using these tools what are you seeing ?

There is no other option in the curtain. It's not a window size issue. Maybe it's best that I give up

If you click on the 'down-arrow' at the right-hand end in the top you should get a list including the proper Plugins folder...
Doesn't this happen ?
You already demonstrated that the SCF:PLUGINS folder path is set properly...
This is weird...
