Nvidia Drivers kept back in Software Update

I was updating my system today and saw that there was a substantial amount of nvidia drivers to upgrade, so I ran the upgrade command was was left with this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  libnvidia-cfg1-470 libnvidia-compute-470 libnvidia-compute-470:i386 libnvidia-decode-470 libnvidia-decode-470:i386
  libnvidia-encode-470 libnvidia-encode-470:i386 libnvidia-extra-470 libnvidia-fbc1-470 libnvidia-fbc1-470:i386
  libnvidia-gl-470 libnvidia-gl-470:i386 libnvidia-ifr1-470 libnvidia-ifr1-470:i386
  linux-modules-nvidia-470-generic-hwe-20.04 nvidia-compute-utils-470 nvidia-dkms-470 nvidia-driver-470
  nvidia-kernel-common-470 nvidia-kernel-source-470 nvidia-utils-470 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-470
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 22 not upgraded

Is there something I need to set up with these to get them to upgrade? Is it just a matter of waiting for another dependency for the rest to be able to update? Thank you

Most likely, yes.
You can check in terminal with:

apt show (package)=(old version) (package)=(new version)

Replacing (package) and (version) with the package name and the version, no parentheses.

Turns out my system only partially updated the last time I did an update. Opening up the Software Updater utility told me that and gave me the option to let it do the updating (which I trust a little more than my terminal skills at this point in my Linux understanding) for me. After letting it do it's thing and restarting my system, all seems good again
