There are no settings on the console for that. It will use IPv6 if it's available and assigned, but if it's still falling back to IPv4, then something on your network is not set up correctly.
Regardless though, is there a reason you're trying to set up IPv6 specifically?

Yea, too much traffic on ipv4 and so its causing the mbps to go down

Maybe your provider is the problem. Which Speedtest do you use?

That’s… not how that works. You don’t get additional bandwidth on IPv6

Think of IPv6 as just a more descriptive way of saying what each device's address is than IPv4 (where IPv4 is a shortened form). So where IPv4 might be a country abbreviation (like US, UK, CA, MX, DE), IPv6 references the same machines but writes them fully out instead of abbreviating (like United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Germany).
It's just expanding the vocabulary allowed to be used to reference each device so you aren't as limited (in the above country case, you wouldn't be limited to 2 letters for countries and hitting conflicts for example).
Nothing allows more bandwidth, you aren't adding more transportation lanes between countries to ship things to each of them faster, you're just making it clearer where you're sending things.
