Updated my late 2012 iMac to Catalina, accidentally screwed up my art apps and Pages....

I updated my late 2012 iMac to Catalina today to start using some art programs that would only work on a newer version of Mac osx (previously was using Sierra 13), only to find out that Pages won't work on it. So I looked for advice, the internet told me to put it int the trash and empty it and then check the appe store's purchased thing to update to an earlier version. I do that, it shows up on the purchased history, but it won't let me download an older version unlike what the tutorials said, and also the initial pages app is now seemingly incomplete or damaged from its little trip to the trash bin and back (Which is what Apple recommended I do on their support forums.)

Also it doesn’t seem to wanna recognize my Wacom either and photoshop doesn’t wanna work either.

I have no idea what went wrong since everything went smoothly and is working otherwise. I’m just really frustrated with how things turned out.

Would upgrading to a later OS via OCLP help in that regard? If so, any recommendations/tips for a first timer? Thanks.
