If it does not work for you ditching networkmanager and manually configuring /etc/network/interfaces might be a good solution.
See https://www.howtoforge.com/linux-basics-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu as reference

thanks for the reply !

that was my next step
trying to figure out if it was installed wrong or not completely

installed gnome-network manager
works great!
solved
