KDE Wayland Desktop Crashes Randomly [Solved]

Hello I am having an issue where KDE Plasma 5 randomly crashes if someone could help me figure it out I would appreciate it.
(note I made a post about this before and resorted to restoring from backups but it didn't fix the issue so I am reopening the issue)

output from journalctl:

I was able to do some debugging of kwin_wayland with this command `screen sudo gdb -pid 1176 -batch -ex "set logging file kwin_wayland.gdb" -ex "set logging on" -ex "continue" -ex "thread apply all backtrace" -ex "quit" > kwin_wayland.log`
