cert-manager-startupapicheck erroring while installation

I am trying to install cert-manager on a new clean kubernetes clutser but im getting an error in the api check i have tried installing it using helm:

helm install \
  cert-manager oci://quay.io/jetstack/charts/cert-manager \
  --version v1.18.2 \
  --namespace cert-manager \
  --create-namespace \
  --set crds.enabled=true

and with the static files:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.18.2/cert-manager.yaml

and checking the api using cmctl check api but I'm constantly getting time outs
