Sorry for the inconvenience. I was using straight.el to install

If I understand correctly, straight.el uses ELPA package for AUCTeX.
Thus I expect you already have tex-site.el locally.
1. Is it sure that you lack tex-site.el? I'm not a straght.el user, but
if it installs ELPA packages in standard place, you will find it as
~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-X.Y.Z/tex-site.el
, where X, Y and Z are the version number.
2. If you cannot find tex-site.el where straight.el stores the package
contents, it means that your installation of AUCTeX is broken. I
recommend to delete the broken installation of AUCTeX and to
re-install it again. (I don't know how to do that in standard way of
straight.el.)
3. If that doesn't help yet, then I suspect that your straight.el isn't
working correctly. Maybe re-installing straight.el itself helps.
and as I navigated to the repository directory, there was actually no
tex-site.el there.
Yes, that's normal; tex-site.el is generated on the ELPA server and
bundled into the distribution files when a new AUCTeX ELPA release is
out.
...I realized that staright.el manifests itself as[2]
,----
| Packages are cloned as Git (or other) repositories, not as opaque tarballs.

Then it really doesn't install tex-site.el?
...Hmm, straight.el needs special treatment for AUCTeX like this[3]
actually?
