Gradle sync failed: Cause: startup failed:
        build file 'C:\Users\user\AndroidStudioProjects\Chiro\build.gradle': 12: all buildscript {} blocks must appear before any plugins {} blocks in the script
        See https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/userguide/plugins.html#sec:plugins_block for information on the plugins {} block
        @ line 12, column 1.

Instead of putting the builscript at line 12
put it at line 1
Refer this official docs External dependencies for the build script
If you are getting google repo error, try to remove google() under repositories and use mavenCentral()
                I have done that, and i am getting this error now:                    Gradle sync failed: Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'Google' was added by build file 'build.gradle' (41 s 225 ms)

In addition with Dickens AS Answer, you need to change this configuration in settings.gradle(Project Settings)
Instead of this :
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
you can use this:
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS)
