ARM64 packages won't install

Hi everyone,
Maybe I'm a bit thick, but whenever I try to install an ARM64 package, it fails to install.
That's also the case on my phone, which is a 1 year old Huawei phone with, I'm pretty sure, and ARM64 v8 processor as well.
Can anyone explain to me why I've never been able to install an ARM64 package on any of the devices I own, includign the latest ones with allegedly 64bits processors?
The U22-XJ is my most recent ARM device, and does the same thing.
Thanks!

Despite the processor being 64bit the OS is 32bit:

Ah ok, thanks, that always puzzled me.
I just checked my phone, and AIDA64 says the kernel is aarch64, and I was able to install an ARM64 package on it.
So it all makes sense now, thanks!
