The selection of apps to install (those are the promotions, right?) is something you see in your Web browser, if memory serves. You don't need to select any of them. You can scroll down and skip past that browser page.
I also seem to recall that content being in an IFRAME on the Web page. That would mean there's the outer scroll bar for the overall page, and the inner scroll bar for the selection section. Kinda like the scrollbars on on this text box that I'm using (and that you used) to enter comments.
Make sure you are scrolling the inner frame so you can get to the bottom of that section of the page. Once you get past all that, things should work.
If it won't scroll, then something is stopping the frame content from receiving focus. You may need to log out of your Roku and clear all Roku cookies and local storage data, then log in to Roku, reset the device, and start over. Or a different browser might be in order. Chrome (Edge is based on Chromium as well) should work fine. Firefox also. And Safari (if you're on a Mac). If Linux, try Firefox or Chromium.

On the offers Web page, there should be a way to scroll down all the way to the bottom. There should be an inner scrollbar as well as an outer one for the full page. The inner one contains the frame that has the section of the offers/apps. Make sure that part of the page has focus and you can scroll all the way down.
And remember, you do not have to accept any of the offers. They'll just add more apps to your home screen. Unless you want the offer of course.

If you are using your smart phone to activate, try using Desktop mode. It worked for me. You'll finally see a "continue" button at the bottom of the offers page when you scroll all the way down. Good luck!
