Simply issue was In the Database Server, Nintex Workflow Configuration Database does not have enough permission for the Web Application App Pool Account.
Resolution
I gave the same permission as Contant Database which is WSS_Content_Application_Pools Permission on DB Account Permission Section
Then once permission provided, I was able to successfully enable the required Nintex Workflow Features
hope This might help someone like me 🙂 Leave me a comment in case if it was helpful.
