[SOLVED] Kernel headers for kernel 5.17.4-arch1-1 cannot be found

I am trying to build DKMS modules for my kernel but when i run  "sudo dkms autoinstall" i get this output:

"Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 5.17.4-arch1-1 cannot be found at /usr/lib/modules/5.17.4-arch1-1/build or /usr/lib/modules/5.17.4-arch1-1/source.
Please install the linux-headers-5.17.4-arch1-1 package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located."

But then i use the locate command for 5.17.4-arch1-1 and get an output clearly displaying that the kernel headers are located there

Help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance

Update to 5.17.5, restart the system and try again.
