Wireless network driver: n/a (realtek RTL8852CE (rtw89))

I have been trying to set up wifi for my new pc with the Debian 12 OS. I had learned that the drivers were not installed so I went on a search for them. I ended up following the github rtw89 instructions from lwfinger. Now, to my knowledge everything is downloaded yet # inxi -N reports no wifi driver. Only thing I can think of is that I blacklisted the wrong things while following the github instructions.
