looking around online it seems possible but apparently not a good experience? i think the posts were a bit old so maybe something has changed since then
Edit: i don’t want to hop distro, i just want to change the desktop manager.

It’s not really a rebranding. KDE is still KDE. Plasma is the new system they are using for KDE, which was introduced with KDE version 5 and now continue on using it as their base for KDE version 6. So strictly speaking, Plasma is not a rebrand of KDE, it’s just the underlying technology of it. Think of kind of Linux as the core of a Linux distribution (just a vague analogy, so don’t quote me on this now).
To make that more clear, you can use KDE software without Plasma desktop in example. … Yeah thinking of that, Plasma is probably just the desktop and all its functionality. KDE is way more than just the desktop.
True, I forgot about that, since the original context is specifically DE’s.
Like for example KDE for Windows, where the system is not even Linux.
