Protontricks 1.10.5 is outdated; you need 1.12.0 as the older versions don't support the latest Steam client. Ubuntu and the derived distros (such as Pop_OS!) usually ship outdated versions of Protontricks.
The easiest option might be to install the Flatpak version instead. You can check the instructions here.
