Deployment of mysql-operator fails with "unsupported mode prw"

Hi, I have a working microk8s but the deployment of mysql-operator installed according to the official documentation(using manifest files) is failing.
My microk8s is installed on 3 lxd containers based on ubuntu 22.04 images. The host is a laptop running on ubuntu 22.04.
Below is output of events:

I tried docker pull on the image:mysql/mysql-operator:8.0.32-2.0.8. It completed successfully.
I had earlier tried to delete and reinstall the deployment but the output is still the same. I had even tried recreating the containers but no change.
What could be the cause of issue and how can this be resolved?
