An error occurred while performing the step: “Building kernel modules”. See varlog/nvidia-installer.log for details

I have been trying to install the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.78.01.run on the TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q] on a Ubuntu 22.04 but I have been having issues of incompatibility with previous installations of the driver.

I even tried purging old installed drivers using:
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
sudo dpkg -P ‘nvidia-dkms-515’
etc

Still however the kernel build fails every time.

The nvidia-installer.log can be read here:

Please help!
Thank you :)

P.S.: When using Software & Updates to install version 525 I still get this error:

Here’s what dpkg -l | grep nvidia currently prints out:
