WIFI works in Install Media but not New Install [mt76 kernel module]

System Info in Screenshot
Bug: MT7612U chipset module not loaded(?)
Desc: In the installation media created for bazzite:stable (Fedora 40) my USB wireless adapter (Panda PAU0D) is detected just fine and when I entered the terminal interface I was able to identify the likely necessary kernel modules
mt76x2u, mt76x2_common, mt76x02_usb, mt76_usb, mt76x02_lib, mt76
were loaded.

Using
dracut --list-modules
and lsmod I don't see these modules loaded or even present on the system fresh after install. How would I go about loading these in-kernel modules for a wireless adapter from this 3rd party compatibility list

So far I have attempted to locate an image more similar to installation media to rebase my install on, find similar posts through bazzite, fedora and UBlue discourse forums and have had no luck.
Also, the usb device is detected but the driver is not present or loaded.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e8d:7612 MediaTek Inc. MT7612U 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter

And the mt7xxx-firmware package is indeed installed.
