No Flatpak expert here but I'd guess the version (executable) installed 
using flatpak falls lower in the path than the regular package manager does.

I had tried installing using Synaptic and got 2.16 so I uninstalled it 
and used Flatpac.  Just checked and see 2.18 offered via the package 
manager.

I got 3.16.1-Hannover using the instructions.

Here is my menu command line

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=qgis 
--file-forwarding org.qgis.qgis @@ %F @@

Good luck,
Rod
