Cant change to the Nvidia driver in the Kde Wayland

Hello im very new in to the linux world so please be patient im not a linux user at all.

Basically when I installed it and logged in it doesn’t let me change the screen resolution (it defaults to 600x400) apparently it’s not even using the nvidia driver for my card, in the system features it only says “Graphic Engine: llvmpipe”, and it doesn’t detect the second screen either, I have looked in the other forum topics but nothing seems to solve it I have reinstalled all the drivers and it doesn’t let me uninstall the driver called “video-linux” because of a dependencies problem(?
I’ve been looking for a solution to this problem for two days between the forum, reddit and google, but nothing seems to change from llvmpipe to the nvidia driver but in kde x11 it works very decent and with the nvidia driver (470xx for my version) I attach everything I saw that they asked in the other forums of this type, thank you very much for your attention.
