[ SOLVED ] nvidia-dkms not installing kernel modules

Hey there! I am trying to get nvidia drivers working on my arch install using linux-zen, and after installing nvidia-utils, nvidia-prime, and nvidia-dkms, prime-run vulkaninfo returns

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : loader_scanned_icd_add: Could not get 'vkCreateInstance' via 'vk_icdGetInstanceProcAddr' for ICD libGLX_nvidia.so.0
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : vkCreateInstance: Found no drivers!
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.
ERROR at /build/vulkan-tools/src/Vulkan-Tools-1.3.217/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:665:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

Also, sudo modinfo nvidia returns

modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia not found.

This is probably me being very stupid, but i cannot figure it out. I have also tried nvidia-open-dkms and nvidia-open-dkms-git (what I plan on using)

Any help would be appreciated, thank you. :)

Does DKMS show the nvidia modules as installed?

# dkms status
