This is the error I am getting

Have you checked comments on its AUR page?

Honestly speaking i didnt understand anything over there

Is there any reason why the Vulkan libraries contained in the nvidia-[ZZZxx-]utils packages are not sufficient?

Yeah, your doing some strange things, that shouldn’t be done on Manjaro. @pobrn is right, your actual Nvidia driver should have this already.

The latest driver should be named either: nvidia-455xx-utils or nvidia-utils. Additionally, you also have proper kernel Nvidia modules which are needed for it to work.

You should never mess with graphical drivers on Manjaro manually. You have to use MHWD for it, see Manjaro Wiki. In 99% cases users break their installation when trying to do things on their own and you were on your way to do the same. Arch wiki is not a good resource for drivers on Manjaro, because they are often named differently.

AUR graphical driver packages are not compatible with Manjaro. There could be made compatible if you knew what were you doing, but only few people really know.
