Do you have the Express 3930 you have pictured above (Settings/System/About)? Are you having any issues with any other channel/app? Are you able to go to the online Roku Channel on a laptop connected to the same network and view content? (https://therokuchannel.roku.com/). Also, are you in US or elsewhere? Provide some details as to your issue.
Some of the initial troubleshooting when experiencing an issue with a channel/app..
1. Remove, Restart, Reinstall.
Remove the offending channel/app.
Restart the Roku device. (Settings/System/System Restart or Settings/System/Power/System Restart)
Reinstall the channel/app.
2. Reboot all the network equipment (modem, router, extenders, etc)
3. Try using wall power for your Roku device if currently using TV USB power port. (any USB cell phone charging adapet 5volt, 1amp)

In order to remove any channel/app from a Roku device, you can do two ways.
1. Highlight the offending channel and press the * button (a.k.a. options button)on the Roku remote. An option to "Remove channel" should appear in this options menu.
2. Search for the offending channel using the Streaming Channels or Search Menu from Home Screen. After typing in the name, you should see a screen that allows you to "Remove Channel". (same screen that allows you to install channels).

For subscriptions channels/apps you may have to cancel subscription prior to being able to remove channel.
Remember to perform a System Restart after you uninstall a channel/app in order to clear the device cache.

Can you clarify what you mean that the Roku Channel and Paramount+ were already on device? Do you mean they were simply on the screen after you went through the device setup and activation (meaning you chose them when you set up device), or is this a used device and you received it with some channels/apps already installed?
Since you do not have laptop, try using your phone's browser while connected to your home network wifi and check the online Roku channel. (basically, need to see if other devices while connected to your network are experiencing the same issue with the Roku Channel on-demand content).
