Issue Unable to set the private key: Probably, the private key format is invalid.

I am trying to solve this stupid problem for last 3 hours but couldn't. So, I just got introduced to Plesk as I want to host my site on a VPS. I went to Cloudflare, took the SSL certificate but while uploading on Plesk, it just throws this stupid error- Unable to set the private key: Probably, the private key format is invalid.

I have tried every damn thing TBH. I tried changing the title, decrypting the Private key, and stupid things like that, but no solution. Now, I want to break my laptop. Please, Please for god sake HELP ME!

Oh yes, I tried that. But after hours, I understood that the solution was to change the browser as Chrome wasn't copying the data as per the format.
