You will need to run the following before reattempting installation.
$ sudo ./remove-driver.sh

Bazzite 40 has to use the non-DKMS installation, since it doesn't support DKMS. Nevertheless, the program has a weird error, where it can't find a file (/lib/modules/6.9.12-205.fsync.fc40.x86_64/build) that I can very much confirm is there.

Hi @mubinulhaque

The installation script, install-driver.sh, checks to see if dkms is installed and if it is not installed then a non-dkms installation is performed.

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.9.12-205.fsync.fc40.x86_64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

There is the problem. That indicates that the kernel header files are not installed. I am not familiar with this distro so you will be need to check where ever you get help to find out how to install the kernel header files.
