I have tried to upgrade to the new release 3.36.4 with below links or similar ones..

seems the links are older..

with sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade I am only upgraded to 3.36.3 from 3.36.2

Minor dot versions of Gnome Shell likely will make it in your Ubuntu installation at some point. To have faster upgrades with packages that are being tested before release, you may want - on your test system - to enable the "proposed" PPA.

  1. Launch "Software and Updates"
  2. On the "Developpers" tab, check "Pre-release updates (focal-proposed)
  3. Close the dialog: the software sources will update.

Read more about "Proposed", including ways to not have everything updated automatically from "Proposed": strong text

I am afraid that your other options are limited. One can always install by compiling, but that is a daunting task requiring good technical system skills.
