I don't know but you can just hit the windows key and start typing the name of the game. :)

Gnome doesn't really encourage the use of icons on desktops...it's an old way of starting programs and not really needed.

How did you install steam?

On the website

You should install it through the terminal or as a flatpak, that might fix the issue. You only download applications from the web on linux if there's no other way.
