I don’t understand how so many people seem to understand the concept just fine. It sounds oddly complicated to me. The concept to me sounds like collectively concluded delusion or like if society collectively concludes something to be objectively real, that means it’s objectively real. Maybe I’m not understanding correctly?

Pretty much everything you identify with, outside of your genitals, is a social construct. We create explanations for things in order to be organized.
You being a dude? A social construct. You liking cars? Also a social construct. Because in order to be aware of these things, you first have to be socialized.
