Fingerprint reader not working on AMD Framework 13 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (alien.top)

My laptop shipped with an up to date bios of 3.03 and I've followed the steps to get on the OEM kernel.

I followed the guide for updating the fingerprint firmware, but can't get the device to be detected.

I think its because when I check fwupdmgr --version, the version for org.freedesktop.fwupd isn't changing from 1.7.9 to something older than 1.8.8 like the instructions say.

I am new to Linux so I may be doing something wrong, but was hoping someone had some ideas!

my fingerprint reader was being funky on linux to the point where fwupdmgr was just timing out
i wiped the drive, installed windows did the bios and firmware updates then nuked windows and reinstalled linux
sometimes the easy way is the better than sitting in a terminal reading documentation all evening way
