How shortcodes are added to my templates

How do I add the shortcode for the widget below to my template and adjust its settings to filter software cards according to their respective categorized terms?
I am using the following code but it is not working properly:

<?php echo do_shortcode(sprintf( '[custom-widget display_type="grid" card_type="mini" number_of_software="-1" filter_type="%s" card_style="light"]', esc_attr($term_slug) )); ?>
