Kubernetes Module appears to be missing but looks like it is installed

Question

I get this error:

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'kubernetes.core.k8s'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

However, I thought I installed it and looks like it is installed:

[me@server ansible]$ ansible-galaxy collection install kubernetes.core
Process install dependency map
Starting collection install process
Skipping 'kubernetes.core' as it is already installed

The configuration is

[user@server ~]$ ansible --version 
ansible 2.9.25 
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg 
configured module search path = ['/home/user/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] 
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible 
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible 
python version = 3.6.8 (default, Mar 18 2021, 08:58:41) [GCC 8.4.1 20200928 (Red Hat 8.4.1-1)]

Than I've tried installing under the root user and under the user I'm running Ansible as and found it did install, but now got this error:

The full traceback is:

Is this a different question I should post or related?

Although you can follow this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60867449/5508998

I found that it only worked when you install those packages using sudo, so

sudo pip install openshift pyyaml kubernetes
