FFMPEG Unrecognized option 'cq:v'

I am trying to enable HW acceleration on Immich-latest
I setup the HW-Transcoding.yml and uncommented the lines out of the docker-compose.yml

unfortunatly nvidia-smi and nvtop both dont show the process and when i took a docker log immich_server it gave the results of.

[Nest] 7 - 02/07/2025, 2:56:01 AM ERROR [Microservices:MediaService] Error occurred during transcoding: ffmpeg exited with code 8: Unrecognized option 'cq:v'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

Is this a bad config on my end or is ffmpeg needing to be update on immich side?

Everything works perfectly without HW accel. And I did see a line on the FAQ's that Raspberry PI is not supporting HW accel at the moment. Not sure if that is related considering the AARCH64.

IE. I am using this setup
Computer: ipi.wiki Ampere Altra Dev Kit
CPU: Ampere Altra Q80-30 AARCH64
RAM: 93.8Gb
GPU: RTX 3060
OS: Ubuntu 24.04
