I am on ubuntu 21.10 (currently 22.04). and i dont like the UI that gnome 40 has on ubuntu. i personally preferred the look of the previous versions (such as 21.04) as it looked more in place with Ubuntu's GUI. If its not possible, is it at least possible to make it "feel" like gnome 3 or in other words, earlier versions of ubuntu which included GNOME? I really dont like the new UI of gnome 40 or new ubuntu versions with it in general.

You cannot downgrade Gnome on Ubuntu without the technical skills required to download source code and compile an earlier version including all earlier dependencies on your Linux system, which, after such operation, cannot anymore be called an Ubuntu system.
Gnome 40 did, apart from the visual change in horizontal layout of workspaces instead of vertical, not fundamentally change the workflow. You did not indicate what bothers you, but if that is the issue, the Gnome Shell extension Vertical overview by Ralthuis can bring back the vertical layout.
