I cannot tell you what to do … only point you to things you may need to learn about (more) … but “renaning”, I think, does not do the fundamental change required.

rename is misunderstanding…
here are 4 options to create a recovery.tar
.
using the linux GUI :
use the right clic and choose compress it
then select the .tar format
or
as advised in /e/ documentation, using the terminal
tar --format=ustar -cvf recovery.tar recovery.img
.
.
you could also create a magic combined .TAR !
using the linux GUI :
by drag and drop the vbmeta.img into the openned recovery.tar
or
select the two files before using the right clic and compress them both into an unique .TAR that can be flashed in AP slot using Odin
using the terminal :
tar --format=ustar -cvf recovery.tar recovery.img vbmeta.img
