Rog-control-center and asusd do not not work after Manjaro update

Support System Updates
1

I used to be able to set my charging limit, change my keyboard color etc., but after an update, rog-control-center doesn’t launch, Ive installed asusctl and rog control center from the official repository, AUR (with AUR it says asusctl could not be configured), and a gitlab manjaro repo i saw linked somewhere, but none worked. Ive been poking around and this is the furthest asusd got:

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507UV, and use the 6.13 kernel.
Quick update, i no longer get the above logs and now get:

[INFO  asusd]        daemon v6.1.10
[INFO  asusd]     rog-anime v6.1.10
[INFO  asusd]     rog-slash v6.1.10

[INFO  config_traits] Parsed RON for "asusd::config::Config"
Error: MissingFunction("asus-nb-wmi not found")

I cannot seem to get asus-nb-wmi, there’s one package named similarly but it fails to install (asus-rog-nb-wmi-dkms-git

This is a somewhat embarrasing self-solve,
Before installing asusctl/rog-control-center, all i had to do is to run

sudo modprobe asus-nb-wmi

This is what asusd claimed could not be found!

now make SURE you are on Wayland since rog-control-center doesn’t like X11 it will give you an error,

Install asusctl and rog-control-center from pamac,

And this time you shouldn’t get an error from pamac saying it failed to setup asusctl and it should launch!

I also recommend making a crontab job so you don’t have to type it every startup with the command above because it also fixed an issue where the microphone mute button didn’t work, i think it’s something that should be turned on normally, but the new update kind of just forgets!
