All the plugins with the @capacitor scope in the name are Capacitor 3 plugins, so you have to use Capacitor 3.

If you don’t want to move to Capacitor 3 yet, then don’t use the plugins with @capacitor scope, they were already included in Capacitor 2 without installing anything extra.

To use the new plugins you also need to use capacitor/android beta, but you are using 2.4.6
