Hello everyone! Have been using Manjaro linux for about half a year. Pretty solid experience! Anyways, getting to the point:
How do I install amd-prime to use the proprietary Nvidia driver with the internal AMD gpu?
Mod edit:- Please refrain from posting screenshots of textual content. Use only the </> preformatted text options.
Welcome to the Manjaro community.
As a new forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

These announcements contain a Known Issues and Solutions section and should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
Output of the following command formatted according to forum requirements (see links above) may be useful for those wishing to help:
inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width
Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands when asked.
Regards.
Welcome to the forum! 
You mean the video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime MHWD profile? That should have already been automatically installed if you chose proprietary drivers during your initial install. See Configure Graphics Cards - Manjaro
Please post your system information and the output of the following command using preformatted text:
mhwd --list && mhwd --listinstalled
First of all, yes I did chose proprietary drivers during initial install, but for some reason it chose open-source nvidia drivers instead of proprietary ones. So I guess it’s currently using AMD GPU instead right now.

Edit 1: hold on, I just had to update my OS. Currently trying again
Edit 2: Successfully installed video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime. Now what?
Reboot? 
Okay, reboot it is. Everything seems fine right now.

I guess it worked since it now uses nvidia instead of nouveau. Gonna do some tests in minecraft with shaders
Yes, it did. 
I’ve never played Minecraft, however I’ve recently been playing Valheim. I never knew building stuff could be so much fun. 
Update: it’s… Still using AMD card? Because it has 10-20 fps as in my previous test before installing drivers. Maybe I should write a command to switch the gpu?
Edit: Yeah, it still uses AMD GPU

Yes. See PRIME - ArchWiki. Install nvidia-prime for the handy prime-run command.
For Steam games, edit the launch options:
prime-run %command%
Oh, thanks for command!
And besides, my minecraft launcher just happened to have a specific option to use Nvidia GPU on linux with hybrid drivers, which is exactly what I want!
Thank you very much again.
