GPU issues, no nvidia in /dev

Just had to fresh install proxmox 9 after an upgrade attempt caused a kernel panic. I tried restoring my docker-frigate LXC but the restore is skipping a bunch of files so I decided to pull the config files from the backup and start fresh.

Got nvidia drivers installed on proxmox and started setting up passthrough and realized there's no trace of nvidia inside /dev. The gpu is recognized by the system as present, nvidia smi shows the correct card, and I can pass it through to VMs and LXCs by ID, but because of the missing entry in /dev I'm at a loss as to how to pass the device to the docker container inside the lxc or vm (I've tried both). I haven't found anything about Debian Trixie/proxmox 9 changing how gpus are handled in that regard so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do next
