gitlab-ee is already the newest version (14.8.2-ee.0).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Then trying to force any version, for example apt-get install gitlab-ee=14.9.x-ee.0

What Linux distribution do you run on that host? It sounds like the problem you would run into if you were on a distribution that GitLab stopped supporting with 14.8.
Ubuntu 18.04 hasn’t reached EOL yet (but it will later this year), and there are packages of 15.7.3 for it on the official site.
So an upgrade shouldn’t be needed (but GitLab runs fine on newer Ubuntus, so you might want to consider it).
I assume you didn’t actually use a x in apt-get install gitlab-ee=14.9.x-ee.0, but tried various versions. Can you show us the actual output from some run?
Can you show us your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab<perhaps something I don't remember>?

The first two of those files only contains comments, but the last looks correct.
I assume that you have run apt update (In most cases you can use apt in place of apt-get).
What does apt-cache policy gitlab-ee (apt has also implemented a lot of the functionality of apt-cache, but not policy) say? (It gives a few lines of output pr. version so be ready for quite a bit of output.)
