Once you have defined your application file tell ufw to reload the application definitions with:

ufw app update plexmediaserver

Use it with:

ufw allow plexmediaserver-all

i agree that you have opened all the ports as mentioned in https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201543147-What-network-ports-do-I-need-to-allow-through-my-firewall-
still, I see the remote access is disabled.
my ufw log has few entries for blocked connection as below
Dec 7 13:53:28 XXXX kernel: [2168275.032152] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eno1 OUT= MAC=a0:d3:c1:2b:2a:7f:00:XXXXXXXXXXXX SRC=192.168.1.254 DST=192.168.1.25 LEN=293 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=1900 DPT=35513 LEN=273

Dec 7 13:50:13 XXX kernel: [2168080.032481] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eno1 OUT= MAC=a0:d3:c1:2b:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SRC=192.168.1.20 DST=192.168.1.25 LEN=230 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=8380 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=32414 DPT=39174 LEN=210

Remember that if you're not a root user (usually you should not be) you'll need sudo before each command.
