It's a bit difficult to read these logs, but decoding the raw data
results in:

MBIM_MESSAGE_HEADER
  MessageType:  0x80000003 (MBIM_COMMAND_DONE)
  MessageLength:        56
  TransactionId:        19
MBIM_FRAGMENT_HEADER
  TotalFragments:       0x00000001
  CurrentFragment:      0x00000000
BASIC_CONNECT (a289cc33-bcbb-8b4f-b6b0-133ec2aae6df)
MBIM_CID_RADIO_STATE (3)
MBIM_STATUS_SUCCESS (0)
InformationBuffer [8]:
  HwRadioState: on
  SwRadioState: off

Which either means that the radio is disabled using rfkill, or that
there is a problem with the platform rfkill driver for your laptop.
In any case, this is the reason you cannot enable the modem.

Does "rfkill list" confirm that the radio is disabled?  Can you change
it?
