Nvidia drivers not working on Ubuntu 21.04, kernel 5.13, ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15(2021)

the output for nvidia-settings is:

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
(nvidia-settings:3137): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 22:32:23.574: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: 22:32:23.578: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: 22:32:23.578: PRIME: is it supported? no

I checked another answer and found out that my display server was wayland and followed the instructions to set it to xorg and rebooted but still got the same output for nvidia-settings

Also the output for sudo prime-select nvidia is:

Error: no integrated GPU detected.

This was the answer that I followed. What's going on here?

Last I tested, the Nvidia driver didn't work properly with Linux 5.13, you may be better off with a 5.12.x version. Also, since you're on a G15, I highly recommend installing
