As mentioned in the comments, since its a Modern site, it will not open in SharePoint designer. This is by design.

Reference -

When you design your solutions, consider these key areas related to the NoScript setting:

  1. Sandbox solutions are not supported.
  2. Custom JavaScript cannot be enabled on the sites by using "classic" extensibility options (for example, via user custom actions).
  3. You cannot access sites using SharePoint Designer.

  4. Some web parts are not available for end users.

    5.Ability to access or update site property bag entries.

Reference - Customizing "modern" team sites

If its a classic site, you need to ensure that you have enabled scripting at the tenant settings. You then either need to wait 24 hours or run the command mentioned below.

Once done, run the following PS command. You need SharePoint admin creds to run:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://yourtenant-admin.sharepoint.com

Set-SPOSite -Identity https://yoursitecollection.sharepoint.com/sites/test -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0

Also, in your site collection, go to the https://sitecollectionurl/_layouts/15/SharePointDesignerSettings.aspx and ensure that Enable SharePoint Designer option is set to true.

  • wont work on modern sites at all as i mentioned. For classic sites, you need to run the powershell commands first

If designer is not working for Sharepoint online perform the following steps.

Go to Sharepoint Admin Center --> Settings --> classic settings page --> Custom Script
And enable the following
Allow users to run custom script on personal sites
Allow users to run custom script on self-service created sites
