It should be in the Ubuntu Software app from the name "Tweaks". If you can't see it, make sure that Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe) is enabled.

You can alternatively use the commands (after making sure universe is on):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

to get Gnome Tweaks

After your comment,

  • If you can't see a Desktop folder in Home, create a new folder in Home and rename it Desktop.
  • If the folder doesn't automatically change the icon to the correct one, Type sudo gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs. Change the value of the line that says XDG_DESKTOP_DIR= to "$Home/Desktop". So, in the end, the line looks like XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"

try just "Tweaks" or
sudo apt purge gnome-tweaks && sudo apt clean && sudo apt update && sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Tweaks
