It shows i am the global admin, but it asks me for "elevated credentials". I am the owner and administrator of the plan...

What are you trying to do, exactly, when you see the request for elevated credentials?
With some actions in Windows, you are being asked to confirm a User Account Control prompt or sometimes you have to explicitly choose to run a program or service as administrator. This is often referred to as running the program or service with elevated privileges.
I am trying to install office apps locally from my 365 account, which i am the admin of, and it asks me for "elevated credentials" in a (user account control) prompt
Also, i do select "run as administrator" in the .exe file
It acts as if my role is not admin for the business account, and everywhere i look it displays that it is
Office needs to be installed on your PC by an administrator account. In this context, "administrator" means administrator of the computer; it has nothing to do with the status of your subscription product which is associated with an online Microsoft account.
On a PC, not all actions are performed with full admin access; this is a security feature.
