also do i need to install recent kernel since i did a command for 5.15
I do not understand what you are asking, here.
Yes, you can and I advise that you do, upgrade to the current 6.8 kernel. If you intend to use a later Nvidia driver than 570, i would additionally recommend upping your kernel above 6.12 - I am on the 6.14 at the moment...

i ment since theres an issue with the drivers and other underlying issues do i reset my pc or just plugging in the gpu will be fine? and how do i upgrade the kernel to 6.12?
You will need to power down and take anti-static precautions to change out the card.
Once done, when you boot, you will likely boot into llvmpipe.
So, it is not a concern in that front.
From there, you can install the new propietary
sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
The above will get you to the latest support recommended driver.
I am using the RTX 3060, and currently, I am using the 580 driver. So, if you want a later driver, you will need to add a repository and then install that driver - let me know if you would like to do that.
With Secure Boot disabled in BIOS (If you go above the Zorin Default, the mainline kernels are likely not signed by Microsoft)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/jammy-mainline
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-6.12

so i plugged in the gpu and my monitor cant recognize it but did with the motherboard, idk if this is off topic but ive already asked in subreddits about why the gpu wont spin fans and no signal but rgb on. im asking here, is it something with the bios or the issue i have with drivers? feel like a never ending issues, i get a new graphics card and it still dont solve it.
also what does this mean
The method to get into your system BIOS, differs from manufacture. From computer off state, press power button to boot computer. Immediately and repeatedly rapid press, one of the following keys, to enter the BIOS. If one key doesn't work, try another, until your in the system BIOS.
F2, DEL (Delete), and F10,
or, F1, F12, or Esc.
Watch a YouTube video if you need more guidance...
"Secure Boot" is located in the "boot" or "security" section of your system "BIOS."
Picture taken from the net.
Additionally, make sure you are using your Nvidia Proprietary driver, so that your new 3060 GPU, can be used. You get there from "Additional Drivers"
This driver runs my Nvidia 3080, so it will most certainly run your 3060!

What is your terminal output of
sudo lshw -C video
This sounds just like life to me.
Don't worry... This is not A.I. and this is not reddit.
We are here to help; we won't give a fake answer sounding confident.
Sometimes, the system needs some jiggling. I mean, inserting a new card is a bit like an organ transplant. We just need to teach the machine, is all.
Usually, it goes smoothly. But not always.

When Your new Graphics Card is built in Your System, take a Look in Settings>About if Your Graphics Card is listed. If not, try the Command sudo prime-select nvidia
But before, maybe installing the Drivers new might be a good Idea. So type sudo apt purge nvidia* to remove the Nvidia Drivers and then install the Driver with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-[Version-Number] nvidia-dkms-[Version-Number]
Replace [Version-Number] with the Driver Version, You want to use - for Example 550 or 570 or whatever.
is "pure" a typo for purge?
i.e. like:
sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
Hello all Community Members and Leaders. Yesterday I installed the lite version of Zorin 17.3 on another machine with a DUO E5700, 6GB of RAM, and a 2GB Nvidia GT610. I ran into this issue. There's the option to use proprietary drivers with the 390, but after testing by activating it and restarting the desktop, I concluded that Noveau performs better than the proprietary 390. I wanted to use the dedicated graphics card, but the chipset is quite weak.
@Salomon I also stay at nouveau after testing nvidia 390 drivers. I couldn't see any improvement with them on my system.

i put 555 since startreker says it works with their gpu just like mine, but it dont seem to loactae it, do i install a package?
Are You using the 6.8 Kernel or higher now? Because You need this.
idk how to upgrade it. i already turned off secure boot
i put both of these codes and it says no newly installed so idk if i did anything wrong besides the secure boot
