Can't get Nvidia Gsync working

Hello world! For some reason, I cannot use Gsync with manjaro. I’m using a single Dell S2422HG monitor with a GTX 1660 card. I have “Force Composition Pipeline”, “Allow GSYNC on monitor not validated as GSYNC Compatible” on in the Nvidia server settings as well as every box ticked under the OpenGL settings tab. This should be everything I need but the Gsync indicvator only displays as normal and I can’t turn Gsync on while using Nvidia’s pendulum demo. My system is also dual boot and gsync works fine on windows. I’m pretty stumped.

Status Update: After playing with the settings some more I got it to work! But only be disabling “Force Composition Pipeline” which I originally had on to prevent screen tearing on the desktop. Which means I have to choose between screen tearing in games or on desktop which isn’t ideal.
