Thanks, I didn’t know that. Should I be disabling wayland in /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
How do I see the error? Right now mhwd seems to work

I am willing to start afresh too - this is a new laptop and I can quickly reinstall Manjaro if I can figure out the right sequence of steps to enable my HDMI
This had a simpler solution
I reinstalled Manjaro and chose “Install proprietary drivers” - lo and behold the nvidia drivers got installed and my monitor is now connected!
