How to install drivers on zorin?

How do I install my nvidia drivers on zorin?
If i open addition drivers, it is stuck on “Continue using a manually installed driver” and i cant change. I am a very big noob at this so can someone help?
Also, my resolution is stuck on 800 x 600. I think so it would also be helpful for you to know that i actually did install the driver package from the nvidia website, and it opened a tab looking similar to windows cmd. However after i installed I rebooted and nothing happened.

Run this command in terminal, it will restore the standard Ubuntu drivers, which will allow you to switch to an Xorg driver, or an available Nvidia driver.

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

In addition, you might try

sudo rm /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf

sudo update-initramfs -u

If StarTrekkers and this above both fail, you may need to add a parameter to grub.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
