Installing akmod with the correct kernel version

I am trying to install akmod using the akmod module but the version is always mismatching in bazzite. The problem is the bazzite-41 akmod are tagged to latest kernel while stable bazzite are usually pretty behind, akmod have kernel tags but im not sure how to do it correctly
Solution
i got it working, i use the copy modules and containerfile to manually specify the tag
modules:
  - type: copy
    from: ghcr.io/ublue-os/akmods-extra:KERNEL_VERSION
    src: /rpms/
    dest: /tmp/rpms

  - type: containerfile
    snippets:
      - RUN sed -i 's@enabled=0@enabled=1@g' /etc/yum.repos.d/_copr_ublue-os-akmods.repo
      - RUN find /tmp/rpms
      - RUN rpm-ostree install /tmp/rpms/kmods/*nct6687*.rpm

the kernel version is obtained using skopeo in github action and substituted using sed before bluebuild action with skip_checkout: true
- name: Inspect image and extract label
  run: |
    LABEL_VALUE=bazzite-$(skopeo inspect docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable | jq -r '"\(.Labels["org.opencontainers.image.version"] | split(".")[0])-\(.Labels["ostree.linux"])"')
    echo "kernel_version=$LABEL_VALUE" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- name: Display extracted label
  run: |
    echo "Extracted ostree.linux label: $kernel_version"
- name: Modify file with extracted label
  run: |
    sed -i "s/KERNEL_VERSION/$kernel_version/g" ./recipes/akmods-modules.yml

it works but pretty jank imo, i hope it could be implemented in bluebuild so i opened https://github.com/blue-build/cli/issues/354

If using bazzite as a base, installing akmod using the current module will almost likely drift because bazzite move pretty fast. The kernel version in bazzite-41 tag is usually newer than the stabl...
