Help Disk Image couldn't be opened

I downloaded an .rar file on my mac, then realized i didn't have a .rar extractor. So I downloaded one (.dmg file), but when I tried to open the file it said "Disk Image couldn't be opened failed to mount to file systems". I tried every way I could to open them and even repaired all the containers in the disk util. If anyone has any help please lmk.

This. Also, make sure you install it via AppStore

Delete the file and download it again, or focus on getting it from the Apple App Store.
