The title of your post was "How to transfer BTC from papper wallet to native segwit ledger".
Did you read the rest of my post? Cause i already pointed out that my walktrough was not what you asked, but what you needed.....

A ledger is a HD wallet. You can NOT import extra private key(s) into a HD wallet...

If you don't want to use your ledger wallet, but ONLY electrum (voiding the security, thus compromising your private key), you can create a non-HD electrum wallet by going to "file" => "new/restore" => give your DESKTOP wallet a name => "import bitcoin addresses or private keys" => paste your private key => next, next, next...
