Android Sdkmanager Does Not List Installed Packages?

I cannot believe it, I found the answer right here. Thank you so much Jing Li!

So basically what you have to do is put the "tools" folder that you get after unzipping inside a folder named "cmdline-tools" (how on earth would you know... !?). And then later the path to that "cmdline-tools" folder is your "--sdk_root" parameter. Keep in mind that I'm using "--sdk_root" due to a bug at the time (april 2020), hopefully soon all of this is not needed anymore. My installed packages are listed now.
