Failing Installation of NVIDIA vGPU Drivers

Hello. I built a server for remote gaming, among other things, and am following Craft Computing's tutorial on GPU virtualization/passthrough. I want to be able to split my GPU in two so I can have two gaming machines running at the same time. However, when I try to install the NVIDIA drivers to make that possible, I run into an error. The images of the screens detailing that error are attached. The log files those screens reference are also attached.

Here are my relevant specs:
CPU: Intel i5-12600k
Motherboard: MSI B660M Mortar Max Wifi DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA Tesla P4
PVE version: 8.1.3 / Kernel version: 6.5.11-7-pve (latest)
NVIDIA vGPU driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.223.02-vgpu-kvm.run (latest)

I read the NVIDIA documentation on this exact process, but my error is not discussed. I did my best to decipher the log files, but I do not know enough yet to have a lead on a fix. I even found this Proxmox Reddit thread with the same error message -- even referencing an older tutorial from the same guy (Craft Computing). They determined that his GPU wasn't yet supported on the version of Proxmox he was using (a 3070 two years ago). As far as I can see, my GPU should be supported.

Any help is appreciated.

That is the wrong driver. You need to install the 16+ Grid host driver on PVE 8+.
Look at here:

I tried this and getting severe errors and the installation fails. Attaching the error found in the installation logs
Processor : Intel
Graphics Processor : Nvidia A800
Driver Used : vGPU driver version 17.0
