I can’t get a sensible translation for the version numbers you’re given. But, the latest viewer should be able to open any version of SketchUp. Make sure you are using the latest one, which you can get from here: https://download.sketchup.com/SketchUpViewer-2022-0-354-126.exe

The link being wrong is a known issue. Don’t know when they will fix the link.
