Nvidia dgpu laptop problems

Hi! I am having issues with nvidia-powerd.service failing to start after rebasing to bazzite-nvidia from silverblue-nvidia, I attached the output of systemctl status nvidia-powerd.service, any ideas how I should start with trying to diagnose this problem? Its a mobile RTX 2060. An nvidia-powerd.service error message that was also appearing on my laptop's screen every boot, which was how I knew to check, if you are wondering.

If you're using secure boot, have you enrolled the key? Powerd failing can be normal, not all GPUs support it Make sure the Nvidia kernel module is loaded

not currently using secure boot, would you recommend enabling it? also when looking for how to check if the Nvidia kernel module is loaded, I discovered this cat: /proc/driver/nvidia/version: No such file or directory

There we go, you appear to be missing all the kargs Which is weird, those should auto apply There's a just command do it
