Could you post an expanded (and redacted) screenshot of your Flow, please?
Until then as a spitball remedy, I've found that I have more reliability utilzing the SharePoint trigger, When a file is created or modified (properties only) rather than When a file is created or modified.
Also, verify the data types of the columns in your SharePoint lists. Make sure you aren't trying to add multiple lines of text to single lines of text, dates to text boxes, etc. Many times when SharePoint list flows fail, the destination list's configuration and/or permissions within SharePoint are the culprit.

I will need to run the flow from SharePoint file, otherwise, the flow does not be triggered by file modification.

From what you described in your first post, the flow would look something like this -

Hi @ichbinbunny ,

If you wan to use the 'For a selected file' trigger, you need trigger the flow in the sharePoint library.

I have made a test on my side, please take a reference:
