you need to copy its folder or extract its archive to /usr/share/plymouth/themes. Then you need to install it…(Make sure that nautilus is in sudo access)

Then open terminal

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/FolderName/Foldername.plymouth 100
...replacing the FolderName with the name you have

Choosing the number then,

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
