<template>
    <lightning-card title="File Preview and Download">
         <template for:each={filesList} for:item="file">
             <div key={file.value} class="slds-box">
                 <div class="slds-grid slds-wrap">
                     <div class="slds-col slds-large-size_4-of-12 slds-medium-size_4-of-12 slds-size_12-of-12">
                       <p><strong>FileName - </strong>{file.label}</p>
                     </div>
                     <div class="slds-col slds-large-size_4-of-12 slds-medium-size_4-of-12 slds-size_12-of-12">
                       <a href={file.url} download>Download</a>
                     </div>
                     <div class="slds-col slds-large-size_4-of-12 slds-medium-size_4-of-12 slds-size_12-of-12">
                       <lightning-button label="Preview" 
                       variant="brand"
                      data-id={file.value}
                      onclick={previewHandler}
                       ></lightning-button>
                     </div>
                   </div>
             </div>
         </template>
    </lightning-card> 
    
 </template>
filePreviewAndDownloads.js
import { LightningElement, api, wire } from 'lwc';
import getRelatedFilesByRecordId from '@salesforce/apex/filePreviewAndDownloadController.getRelatedFilesByRecordId'
import {NavigationMixin} from 'lightning/navigation'
export default class FilePreviewAndDownloads extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement) {

    @api recordId='0010o00002ng22vAAA'
    filesList =[]
    @wire(getRelatedFilesByRecordId, {recordId: '$recordId'})
    wiredResult({data, error}){ 
        if(data){ 
            console.log(data)
            this.filesList = Object.keys(data).map(item=>({"label":data[item],
             "value": item,
             "url":`/sfc/servlet.shepherd/document/download/${item}`
            }))
            console.log(this.filesList)
        }
        if(error){ 
            console.log(error)
        }
    }
    previewHandler(event){
        console.log(event.target.dataset.id)
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({ 
            type:'standard__namedPage',
            attributes:{ 
                pageName:'filePreview'
            },
            state:{ 
                selectedRecordId: event.target.dataset.id
            }
        })
    }
}
filePreviewAndDownloads.js-meta.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LightningComponentBundle xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <apiVersion>49.0</apiVersion>
    <isExposed>true</isExposed>
    <targets>
        <target>lightning__RecordPage</target>
    </targets>
</LightningComponentBundle>
  1. Create an Apex class filePreviewAndDownloadController.cls and add the following code to the file.
filePreviewAndDownloadController.cls
public with sharing class filePreviewAndDownloadController {
    @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true)
        public static Map<ID, String> getRelatedFilesByRecordId(String recordId) {
            // Get record file IDs        
            List<ContentDocumentLink> files = [SELECT ContentDocumentId FROM ContentDocumentLink WHERE LinkedEntityId = :recordId];
            List<ID> fileIDs = new List<ID>();
            for (ContentDocumentLink docLink : files) {
                fileIDs.add(docLink.ContentDocumentId);
            }
     
            List<ContentVersion> docs = [SELECT ContentDocumentId, FileExtension, Title 
                FROM ContentVersion WHERE ContentDocumentId IN : fileIDs];
            Map<ID, String> mapIdTitle = new Map<ID, String>();
            for (ContentVersion docLink : docs) {
                mapIdTitle.put(docLink.ContentDocumentId, docLink.Title);
            }
            return mapIdTitle;
        }
}

Final Output

Now place your component to the record page. You will see the following output
