see the error message during the installation, "Defauling to user installation because normal site-packages is not writable". So it has been installed inside your user directory.
to find out the user installatiion directory.

you can open a python prompt by entering the command python in the command line
import sys package import sys
check the output of sys.path
then you can add the script directoy of the python path to the PATH environment variable

Usually the installation location should be c:users[username]AppDataRoamingPythonPython38scripts/aws.exe
your python version might be different.
You should also add c:users[username]AppDataRoamingPythonPython38scripts to your path.
update: you can also use pip show awscli to see where the module is installed
