This usually indicates a signature verification failure or an architecture mismatch (e.g., accidentally trying to flash an ARM64 package on an ARM32 device).
Because ARM32 devices are old, they often misbehave. Here are the most frequent issues and fixes:
For ARM32 devices, download BiTGApps or OpenGApps ARM builds: nikgapps arm32
– The ARM32 Core package occupies roughly 150 MB, leaving room for user data on devices with limited eMMC storage.

Clean Uninstallation and Addon Support Transfer both zip files to your device's internal
The official, straightforward answer is — NikGapps does not officially support ARM32 (32-bit ARM) architecture.
The most realistic path to official ARM32 support is community funding. The NikGapps project has explicitly requested donations to purchase an ARM device for build purposes. If the community raises sufficient funds, ARM32 builds could become a reality.

Because 32-bit devices often suffer from limited internal storage and smaller system partitions, NikGApps offers scaled-down packages. The following variants are typically available for ARM32:
