You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jan Hodouš (rhscz):

In this version 1.8.10 of iptables(nft) there is some bug where if rules
are loaded externally by iptables-restore/ufw etc.., there is no chance
to check/delete (by iptables command) rules that are loaded externally.
If rule is added by iptables command, it can be also deleted, but not
that ones loaded externally.

I can show some examples if needed. I hope i included everything needed

This issue seems to be fixed in version 1.8.11.

Could you please update it for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?
