ok if you want to install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx akmod-nvidia-470xx you need to remove nvidia* packages sudo dnf remove nvidia* and after that sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx akmod-nvidia-470xx

What is wrong have you followed the whole guide from rpm
Does all goes right you have a package conflict
Try to see if you already have that xorg package preinstalled
With previously mentioned dnf list commend and then see if all packages that need are downloaded or not then do a reboot to xorg as reboot will include the nvidia driver in the kernel itself but as you don’t know how to sign so turning on secure boot will not work you need to be sure that secure boot is actually turned off and see with inxi -G after reboot that the nvidia driver is showing or not.

All are here

Hi, I just check for above Nvidia card and from https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/495.44/README/supportedchips.html it should use nvidia-390.xx version.

As oprizal stated you need the 3.90 nvidia driver as your graphics card is to old for the newer drivers.
