I recommend using Newpipe's own fdroid repo. You'll get the updates much faster there when something breaks
Better yet, use Obtainium to "get Android app updates directly from the source. Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available."

This is the way.
And this is how to do it! https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
