Bazzite-dx - missing docker group

Heyho, i recently made the switch to bazzite-dx (from bazzite) Unfortunately, it seems like the Docker Group has not been created. Is there any way to get it working? Further Info: Am using Bluebuild with Base-Image: ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-dx-nvidia-open and image-version: stable
