What exact 15" MBP ...?

If your Mac is a 2015 MBP or newer try a Safeboot and try the installer again.

Assuming your Mac supports Monterey (older ones don't), If it says "file damaged" it only means an older, now-invalid version of the installer is lurking in your Applications folder. Delete any and try again.
