Nvidia drivers dont install with 5.12.X

Anyone else find a way to get the 460.X drivers to install with the 5.12.X kernel? Ive tried installing it on Ubuntu 20.04 and it keeps failing during the install. The only reason im using the 5.12 kernel is because certain functions dont work on my Dell XPS 7590 (2019) without using the 5.12.X kernel.

465.27 works fine here on top of 5.12.4 released earlier today.

Not for me…
