The version 4.3.1-2build5 of syslog-ng is the version that has been published for Ubuntu 24.04.
You should be able to install it on your Ubuntu 24.04 system with the command
sudo apt install syslog-ng

For your Ubuntu 20.04 system:
The version of syslog-ng that has been published for this Ubuntu release is 3.25.1-3
If you need a different version of syslog-ng on that Ubuntu release, you have to organize that yourself.
The package in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslog-ng/4.3.1-2build5 has dependencies on other software packages, which are not available on Ubuntu 20.04
