Asus Tuf Gaming F15, Fan cannot be controlled.

I have installed arch linux on my asus tuf gaming
f15 laptop. I cannot control the fans at all. I tried using fancontrol, no good, nbfc, no good. I saw different posts on here, none of them worked.
pwmconfig says "There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed" . Because of this my laptop burns whenever I open a game .Thank you .

Specs: i7-11800H
Integrated GPU
and Discrete: Nvidia RTX 3050 ti mobile
Ram: 16GB
Kernel: Linux-zen-6
DE: Hyprland/Xfce4
Drivers: nvidia-dkms

No swap

WIki also mentioned to use fn+f5 for tuf gaming laptops but it does nothing

Please remove the unnecessary plea for help, this is a support forum, it's implied you need help with something.

Generally speaking the vast majority of laptops do not give fan control to an OS, so unless you are verifyingly overheating (don't trust your hand, check with the sensors command) this might well be a normal condition. If this is a laptop where you're expected and know to have fan control  there exists the asus-linux project and they even have a custom pacman repo, including a modified kernel and tooling to allow controlling fans, check whether that helps you: https://asus-linux.org/guides/arch-guide/
