Your partial version string seems to find a match with a stable build listed here https://images.ecloud.global/stable/star2lte/ . Perhaps you could confirm if you need more support.
If stable you might have expected an OTA Upgrade to Android R,
but it hasn't happened for you
OS OTA Related information
What OS OTA upgrade means click here
Usually for /e/OS ROMs to upgrade the OS you have to do the following
If available download the correct OS build from the supported device list
For some devices you also need to download the stock ROM from the vendor site.
Take a back up of your data
First install the Stock ROM
Next install the /e/OS ROM. Here you can take help of the install guides available on our documentation site.
If required apply the backups you downloaded before starting the whole process
An alternate to this tedious process is where we offer the user the option to upgrade the OS OTA. This option is available for stable device builds only.
This process is easy for the user but requires a lot of development and testing effort.

Testing
You would need a good backup; you could consider doing the upgrade as if a new install as https://doc.e.foundation/devices/star2lte/install . Moving from Q → R you would need to Format data.
Flashing the new ROM could be done by adb sideload
, As for recovery, this can be done equally with TWRP or the Recovery-e.
If you don’t want to use adb sideload
from your PC you can investigate the ability of your Recovery to install from a location like (the root of) SD card or external USB storage device and copy the new ROM to such location and use Install from Recovery.
Another option would be to change from stable to dev https://images.ecloud.global/dev/star2lte/ where Android 13 (T) is available.
I am not sure I follow but to make an fresh install you would first Enable USB Debugging .
