How can I add a custom edid to Bazzite? (Make Asus Swift monitor work)

I'd like to load a custom edid for my monitor, because it does not work without.
This is the fix for classic linux: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/17oi5tk/comment/k83gmai/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

But bazzite/ostree is making this a bit more complex and I'm unsure how to handle it. Thanks

Maybe this karg could point you in the right way

firmware_class.path=/usr/local/lib/firmware

firmware_class.path=/usr/local/lib/firmware

Putting a full path in the kargs also didn't work
