Bot fight mode blocks Google

Hi there, I am trying to add google analytics on a website, but strugling to pass checks in a dashboard. The thing is, Google (legit google, I've checked it with a host command) is trying to access my website but being blocked by bot fight mode (free plan one).

Is it better to turn off bot fight mode in case it would further block other Google's bots? ( I am trying to rank on SERP kinda). Or constantly check my logs and see if good bots are being blocked
