I'll try that guide, And I'll also use your command to see what drivers I actually ended up with.
Anyways, Thanks trying your best on helping me. I'll come back and tell the results of that guide.
No. These are NOT fix instructions. These are debugging instructions. I need you to post the output of them, so I can provide further assistance. Do not reboot.

The output was of the "debugging instructions" you sent were:

That is the output.

My man you had like 4 NVIDIA drivers installed, how did you even manage that? Please post the output of the commands above.

I got errors like this when trying to install drivers yesterday, trying to resolve it manually only made it worse.
The first command you entered had an error. Of course the second one won't work.
Try again with these:
sudo pacman -R gwe lib32-opencl-nvidia-470xx nvidia nvidia-dkms nvidia-lts nvidia-prime nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia-470xx
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx-dkms
[root@Mathias-Linux modprobe.d]# pacman -R gwe lib32-opencl-nvidia-470xx nvidia nvidia-dkms nvidia-lts nvidia-prime nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia-470xx

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils' required by python-py3nvml
Do i remove python-py3nvml?
Remove conky-lua-nv aswell
Won’t that remove conky?
Yes add normal conky
Please just let me handle this.
Aight
Since we are going to be reinstalling the correct versions in a second anyway, this should be fine:
sudo pacman -Rdd gwe lib32-opencl-nvidia-470xx nvidia nvidia-dkms nvidia-lts nvidia-prime nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia-470xx libxnvctrl-470xx
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx-dkms

owait you edited it
Please see my edit. The formatting of the post was incorrect.
I did it, Only the pacman command got some errors, Those being
==> ERROR: module not found: 'nvidia'
Now what?
Yeah, that error isn't helping unless you post the rest of the logs. Again, still not a magician here.
