You're supposed to pass the path to the steam client directory, e.g. ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam for flatpak'ed Steam.

Also note that I've just updated the script to use vdf and steam modules instead of steamfiles, which appears to be abandoned.

Well, i'm having other problem: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vdf'

Yes, I wrote about this in previous message. vdf and steam python modules are required now.

I installed both of them, how i pass the path to the steam client directory?

As an argument for the script, e.g.

./steam_desktop_updater.py ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam
