Currently, there is no need to install a jetifier separately.
Only use
npx jetify
try using the npm Jetifier package below in a postinstall script
https://www.npmjs.com/package/jetifier
From the readme:
Make sure your app is AndroidX
npm install --save-dev jetifier
npx jetify (may take a while)
npx react-native run-android
