Screenshot you shared has configuration setting for 6GHz, not for WiFi6. The WiFi protocol naming could be confusing, so let me summarize:
WiFi 5 - uses 5GHz
WiFi 6 - uses 5GHz
WiFi 6E - uses 6GHz
The screenshot you provided is for configuration of 6GHz for Deco units that support WiFi 6E protocol. Deco X20 does not support WiFi 6E, that's why you do not see this configuration option in your Deco app.
Also, I googled WiFi specs for PS5 and it says PS5 does not support WiFi 6E.

There is no separate option to enable WiFi6 in Deco app. WiFi6, just like WiFi5, uses 5GHz. As long as you have 5GHz enabled in Deco app, X20 will have WiFi6 enabled, too.

Can you share that screenshot?
Also, do you have smartphone or tablet which supports WiFi6? It'll be easier to check with those, if they connect to X20 with WiFi6.
