Great thanks for this @Forpli. I tried changing it back to the 6.8 kernel via the restart > grub menu then reinstalled the 470 driver again, and it just produced the same error message but with 'Building for 6.8-generic' instead of 'Building for 6.17.0-14-generic'.
I'll use the guide you provided to try and get 6.8 working, then try reinstalling the driver again
Having followed all the above instructions, I still get error messages. You can see at the bottom of the output that I typed the 'uname -r' to show that I am using 6.8, but the error message still makes reference to '6.17.0-14-generic'.
I had set the default kernel per @Forpli's instructions.
Strangely, my second monitor suddenly started working after I changed back to 6.8 in the grub menu before attempting the latest driver update, so there's at least something positive happening

Hm, did you check if the package manager still is broken? When you run "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" or try to install any app package via terminal you can see if everything is normal or if there are still errors.
Here are some commands for repairing the package manager:
Be careful with the last command - look what packages will be removed before you confirm to remove them.
@Forpli - I get blocked from doing these commands - for example, the apt clean:
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/

Back at post #37
Did you take a look at content in that make.log file?
Are other instances running which are using the package manager, e.g. gnome software, Zorin updater or synaptic package manager? Please wait until they are ready and then close them and try it again.
No, I wouldn't have known to look at that specific file unfortunately.
Is there a way for me to check this? Sorry - I'm still very new to Linux in general!
Hmm ... it seems that the Driver wante to built it for the 6.8 Kernel and the 6.17 Kernel. You could try it with uninstall the 6.17 Kernel and then try if it works.
To uninstall the Kernel stay in the 6.8 Kernel and type in Terminal:
sudo apt remove linux-image-6.17.0-14-generic linux-headers-6.17.0-14-generic linux-modules-6.17.0-14-generic linux-modules-extra-6.17.0-14-generic
I ran that command and it seems that it doesn't like the 6.14.11-061411-generic kernel? It returned the following output with an error:
sudo apt remove linux-image-6.17.0-14-generic linux-headers-6.17.0-14-generic linux-modules-6.17.0-14-generic linux-modules-extra-6.17.0-14-generic

Is Secure Boot disabled in your BIOS EFI settings?
Instead, use:
sudo apt install linux-image-6.14.0-37-generic linux-headers-6.14.0-37-generic linux-modules-6.14.0-37-generic linux-modules-extra-6.14.0-37-generic
Once installed, boot into the Zorin On 6.14.0-37-generic option.
Start with a Fresh and Clean build:
sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*' '^libnvidia-.*'
That clears out any remnants.
Then install:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470 nvidia-dkms-470
Yes I believe I disabled it early into this saga. I'll double-check and then follow your instructions
I've just double-checked and suddenly remembered that I previously tried to disable it, but couldn't find a way to do so in the BIOS EFI settings, and had to drop everything to go to a hospital appointment. I completely forgot that I hadn't managed to disable it 
As you can see from the photo I took, the option to disable it is greyed out.
I'll see if I can fish around for some answers on how to disable it, because this could be the cause of many of the problems!
Forget that last comment about me trying to find a solution to switch off secure boot - I've just found the command: 'sudo mokutil --sb-state', popped it into terminal, and it switched it off!
I'll look at doing the other parts of your instruction now.
This command doesn't switch secure boot off, it only shows if secure boot is enabled or not.
But as you have set in your BIOS the OS type to "Other OS", it should already be disabled, or not?
That command on its own, does not - it can show if it is enabled or disabled.
But sudo mokutil --disable-validation can disable Secure Boot from within the terminal emulator, without needing to boot into BIOS Settings.
I followed this after making sure Secure Boot was disabled, and produced more error messages:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470 nvidia-dkms-470

It seems that it doesn't like the 6.14 Kernel too. So, You would have to uninstall that one, too. The Question is where this Kernel came from because the actual 6.14 Kernel what would be used is the one that @Aravisian's Command above mentioned.
Could You type in Terminal apt search 6.14.11-061411-generic and post the Output here please?
