Hi @Nilesh Kodulkar ,
According to my research and testing, please check the permissions of the current user , you need to verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the site Owners group.

Here is some documentation on how to "Upload app to App Catalog", and "add an app from an App Catalog to SharePoint site" , you can refer to.

Reference:

A couple things to check.

When you scaffolded the web part using the Yeoman Generator, you were asked, Do you want to allow the tenant admin the choice of being able to deploy the solution to all sites immediately without running any feature deployment or adding apps in sites?. The article instructs you to answer No to this question. However, if you answered Yes, your web part may be available without having to install the app from Site Contents. Take a look and see if it available in the web part toolbox.

The second thing to check is whether your package deployed correctly to the app catalog. In the screen capture below, notice that to the right of the dialog there are columns in the list view for Enabled, Valid App Package, Deployed, and App Package Error Message. Please confirm that you see the following values for those properties for the package that contains your web part. If you see different values, particularly in the App Package Error Message column, then it's likely there were issues with the package deployment.

Enabled: Yes
Valid App Package: Yes
Deployed: Yes
App Package Error Message: No errors

Might be you have created an app catalog under a different web application. If so then create an app catalog under the same web application where you are searching it.
