do you really mean the old and deprecated Plugin Manager or the new Plugin Admin?
If the latter is the case then I by using its UI it should be ok to install listed plugins.

Go to the ? > Debug Info menu, Copy debug info into clipboard, and paste that info into your reply here.

Compare plugin v 1.5.6 does not support x64 architecture.
You’ll need 32-bit Notepad++ to use it or you’ll need Compare plugin v2.0.The second problem is that Notepad++ v7.6.2 plugins location is NOT
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins.
The plugins for this Notepad++ version are located in the Public users folderC:\Users\Public\AppData\Notepad++\pluginsand the Plugin MUST be put in its own sub-folder there -C:\Users\Public\AppData\Notepad++\plugins\ComparePlugin(copy all plugin files there).I would suggest to use the latest versions of both Notepad++ (v7.6.3 at the time of writing) and Compare plugin (v2.0).
Notepad++ v7.6.3 has a feature PluginAdmin located under the Plugins menu - use it to install Compare plugin automatically - it will get the correct plugin version (x64 v2.0) and put it at the right place. -
