Flydigi Vader 4 Pro not working wireless on arch but works on Nobara

Been trying to make it work for months but no success on my arch (hyprland) install.

Wired: Works in dinput, doesn't get recognized (on https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad) in xinput 
Wireless (dongle): Gets recognized in dinput but inputs don't register. Doesn't get recognized in xinput

'recognized' here means [https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad](https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad) picked it up.

It works flawlessly in all modes on my Nobara install

Packages I have tried: `xboxdrv`, `xone-dkms`, `xone-dkms-git`, `xone-dongle-firmware`, `xpadneo-dkms-git`, `xpadneo-dkms`, `dkms`, `linux-headers`, `game-deives-udev`

When I run `sudo xboxdrv --debug`

I get (when in wireless (dongle) xinput mode)

    xboxdrv 0.8.14

    Try to run 'rmmod xpad' and then xboxdrv again or start xboxdrv with the option --detach-kernel-driver.

`rmmod xpad` gives 

rmmod: ERROR: Module xpad is not currently loaded

Did you ever figure out a way to get it to work? I have the exact same problem on CachyOS.
