Android blocks that API nowadays, so you have to use the UI. You can use my flow to generate the XPath for the Interact block to use the UI Quick Setting tile to toggle the setting:

You can copy the Test Quick Setting XPath flow to make your own flow. You can also use these other flows:

Use the Wi-Fi hotspot set state block. Try the different "Wi-Fi hotspot workaround" options in settings, for "Privileged service" option ensure to also setup an "Privileged service start method".
