Yes the restore of files took you back to 6.11.3 which wants the old database, hence a downgrade.
So are you not familiar with database manipulation via phpMyAdmin? If you are you maybe able to change the database version number in the database, back to 13220
Unless you can change the database version, you will have to go back to installing at least 7.2.1 that's the earliest that uses the 16170 database.
If you get it working and can change the skin from pixelgreen do that to at least get the site usable.
That pixelgreen isn't really compatible with the updated b2evo and was never an official skin, there are no updates for it.
No, I don't know database manipulation via phpMyAdmin unfortunately.
I will try your suggestions. Thank you!

You have access to CPanel on your host from where you can access phpMyAdmin probably
Using phpMyAdmin you can search for the database version and change it.
Make sure you have a backup of the database in case it doesn't work or another error arises.
You may also want to try searching the forum more, here are similar topics and posts:

I was able to get the webhost to fully restore back to 6.11.3.
Ok sounds good.

In reverse order
Drop the table before you try the next time
You seem to be trying to downgrade from 16170 to 13220 which is not possible
PHP/Maria
b2evo > /config/advanced.php
Mismatching the b2evo version and the database version seems more of an issue than the php and maria,
