I just went through something similar trying to find these policy files. Go to one of your domain controllers and search for LAPS.ADM* under C:\Windows. It should find about 4 of these files, 2 of them being LAPS.admx and another 2 for LAPS.ADML.

Copy only the LATEST version of each file:
LAPS.admx -> \\domaincontroller\sysvol\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions
LAPS.adml -> \\domaincontroller\sysvol\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US

That should solve the missing policies in the group policy editor until MS releases updated GP policy bundles.

I tried that, but it returned a syntax error on opening the file. I only found 1 file dated 31/03/2023.
