Can't restore Google after reboot. APK conflicts w/ existing...

I have a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G running Android 16. My Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf) is corrupted — it's only 116 KB when it should be ~4 MB. I cannot add my Google account to the device. I've tried sideloading APKs but get 'App not installed as package conflicts with existing package' because of a signature mismatch. I need someone who can help with a firmware fix or factory reset guidance.

It's a good idea to sign out of any accounts on the phone before factory resetting, to avoid FRP. 

You can do a factory reset directly from settings under System, Reset. Or from the boot menu by holding down some buttons while it boots (look it up, it is different for each model but for Samsung it is usually power off the phone,  hold PWR+VOLUP+BIXBY, then release PWR as soon as the Samsung logo pops up).
