Do I need to reverse my kernel version to fix this error?

Support Request

Context: I was trying to install Virtualbox to run windows server to practice networking. I kept getting stuck when trying to install something called "virtualbox-dkms". The install would get stuck at "Building initial module for 7.0.0-28-generic". And the error reason was "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 7.0.0-28-generic (x86_64)".

Here is a screenshot.

Please help.
