Your device’s designation is now wlp4s0 not wlp0s16f0u2.
I already mentioned to check your inxi for changes.
Please substitute your device’s new designation in the script and rereun the script.

When i attempt to connect i get this error

You must be using a new driver now if the modprobe part of the script is now not working. You must understand if you change your driver etc, you will likely get a new device designation and driver name. You must update this information in the script if you have made changes to your network setup.
I am not there looking over your shoulder. I cannot possibly know what you have done when I’m not at your computer. You need to make alterations to the network information you need to provide in the script if you expect it to run without errors.

If you wish to deactivate your Intel adapter I have a one liner you can run before trying to get your realtek adapter working. There is a possibility trying to use 2 WiFi adapters at the same time is causing conflicts.
lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs sudo rmmod
This will unload the iwlwifi driver for your current session. The change will be reverted when you reboot.
EDIT:
I would also recommend you disconnect your Xbox wireless controller from your computer when trying to setup your realtek WiFi. This makes three wireless network devices on your system concurrently. You need to pare down all the unnecessary components while trying to setup your realtek WiFi.

Got a slight update after disabling MAC randomization again.
I now see wlp0s16f0u2 (98:48:27:C3:D6:65) in Wifi & Networking.
This matches the MAC address:
Device-4: TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS [RTL8821AU] driver: rtl88XXau type: USB
IF: wlp0s16f0u2 state: dormant mac: 98:48:27:c3:d6:65
I see that it’s dormant, and when I attempt to use it i get the following error:
The access point /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint/1 was not in the scan list.
Perhaps you will have better luck with MAC randomization disabled in combination with assigning a static IP address for your home computer. This can usually be accomplished through your router by using its MAC address association feature. You can also do this through Network Manager, however I prefer set this in my router personally.

Assigned a static from both router and computer to no luck.
Decided to just do another fresh install and same issue.
For now I plugged it in via ethernet and chalking it up to a loss.
Eventually i will try again and/or look into another wifi usb adapter.
Do you have one personally you’d recommend?
Interestingly despite it lighting up, showing up in dkms and lsusb with a driver and inxi -n i can’t even get garuda to scan for other wifis.
After a fresh install of Garuda I installed this:
This corrected my issue.
