It's indecisive, but the elbow method is quite poor in general. – Tim Feb 09 '23 at 08:28
try Calinski-Harabasz instead. Here towards the end https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/358937/3277 I am citing some popular clustering criteria and their properties. – ttnphns Feb 09 '23 at 11:07
I agree that SSE elbow on your pic shows no presence of clusters. – ttnphns Feb 09 '23 at 11:08
