Nvidia Open 595 not working on kernel 6.18?

solved

I did a full system update earlier today and my nvidia drivers just dont work anymore? Nvidia-smi detects my GPU (RTX 4060) and allows me to enable persistence mode but that fixed nothing, fastfetch detects it too but everything seems to be running through my CPUs integrated graphics (Radeon 610, not ideal). I tried using DRI_PRIME to "force" my GPU as the main renderer (if force is even the right word) and that didnt work, i tried downgrading to the 580 drivers and that also didnt work, i tried reinstalling the drivers fresh and that didn't work but most frustrating of all, nobody else seems to be having this issue as far as i can see so it hasnt been as simple of a fix as i would've hoped. I dont have the means to back up important files right now and i dont want to risk losing any in a fresh install, what can I do?
