Hello,
First make sure you have the latest tool-chain from here Linux Development Requirements for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation.
Now in case it’s the latest version and you’re sure it was downloaded fully successfully that means it’s not broken, just go place it manually from where ever that Unreal Engine folder is located, example if my Unreal Engine folder is located in my home folder I would navigate to “/home/username/UnrealEngine/Engine/Extras/ThirdPartyNotUE/SDKs/HostLinux/Linux_x64/” ignore quotes. Navigate to that location, “cd ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Extras/ThirdPartyNotUE/SDKs/HostLinux/Linux_x64/” and paste it there. For my case, broken tool-chain was v17_clang-10.0.1-centos7.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Hello. My toolchain was probably not properly installed, and when I try to install it again, it returns “Toolchain already installed skipping”. How to uninstall it and re-install it properly?

Bit late but…
Go to ./Engine/Extras/SDKs. Find and delete the sdk for your platform (in my case HostLinux/v22clang…) and rerun Setup and GenerateProjectFiles.
Fixed it for me while building for Linux.
