You can install games while your Xbox Series X is off by enabling 'Instant-On' mode in the power settings. It allows your console to download and install updates even when it appears off.

As someone who's done this a lot, go to Settings > Power mode & startup > Select 'Instant-On'. This way, it'll install games even when it's off.
