You are right the zip doesn't contain a folder with all the content but just all the files and this is not valid in wordpress.
@erikyo what do you think?
I spotted the issue is on the generator, replace the Plugin Name string in the php root file.
I am working on a new generator version with the fix.
The new generator version fix that issue https://github.com/WPBP/generator/releases/tag/1.3.2
Thanks for the rapid fix, guys!
