i would like to test my app and run it on specific time. i figure that setting the datetime would be a great idea but it seems like i am having some issues currently. How should i set the variable to a date time variable?

Are you currently operating within a flow with Power FX enabled?
Please try copying and pasting the provided code to verify if it functions correctly.
Code:

DateTime.GetCurrentDateTime.Local DateTimeFormat: DateTime.DateTimeFormat.DateAndTime CurrentDateTime=> CurrentDateTime SET Dayofweek TO CurrentDateTime.DayOfWeek

Are you new to Power Automate Desktop and unsure how to copy and paste the code provided?

If you want to manually set a specific value as a date, set it first, and then use Convert text to date time to convert it to a valid datetime value.
