Simply issue was In the Database Server, Nintex Workflow Configuration Database does not have enough permission for the Web Application App Pool Account. 

 Resolution

then I gave the same permission as Contant Database which is WSS_Content_Application_Pools Permission on DB Account Permission Section 



Then once permission provided, I was able to successfully enable the required Nintex Workflow Features 


hope This might help someone like me :) Leave me a comment in case if it was helpful.
