So the kernel module works - can you please post the xorg log where the xorg.conf is removed?
Assuming the 340xx driver still works with the present Xorg versions, nvidia-xconfig *cannot* create a functional config for an optimus setup.

i made sure that i remove xorg.conf, idk if that shows in logfile.

but let's put this problem aside and if there is anything that i can do to cleanup everything and start from scratch, without installing the whole system again?

It doesn't, probably because this is an old log:

[   657.683] (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue May 26 14:24:49 2020

You won't have to re-install.
