VM failed to boot on kernel 6.19.8 (Fedora 43)

i was trying to open a windows vm but there was an error saying i needed to rerun /sbin/vboxconfig but it failed. i assumed something happened after my system updated and i thought kmod failed to re-sign vbox drivers. i tried running the signing script and turning off secure boot but vm still wont open. i thought i should reinstall virtualbox, but instead it gave another error:

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is probably not [loaded.You](http://loaded.You) may not have kernel driver installed for kernel that is runnig, if so you may do as root: dnf install akmod-VirtualBox kernel-devel-$(uname -r)If you installed VirtualBox packages and don't want reboot the system, you may need load the kernel driver, doing as root: akmods; systemctl restart vboxdrv.service

running the first command the terminal said i already have the packages installed. i have no idea what to do now. btw going back to kernel 6.18 allowed me to boot to the VM

edit: vbox version: 7.2.6\_RPMFUSION r172322. i did install guest and host addition already, it ran fine on previous kernel
