I ran the command and received this output:

I've checked the paths don't exist but this does.
/usr/lib/modules/6.16.4-116.bazzite.fc42.x86_64/build/
/usr/src/kernels/6.16.4-116.bazzite.fc42.x86_64/

Any Idea how I can sort this?
Solution
Ran 'sudo rpm-ostree reset' again, it's working now.

Heres the 'rpm-ostree status' output.

If it happens to anyone else it may be worth telling them to run 'sudo rpm-ostree reset' again.
