Can't update CachyOS: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) with linux-firmware-nvidia

Whenever I try to update my system for the past few months, I get the following errors: ![CachyOS Hello Update System ][1]
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
--- I found some other answers suggesting that I need to overwrite it. So I tried the following:
sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite=/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/*
But that didn't work. It said something about not finding the path event though the path seems like it's 100% correct? --- How can I fix this and actually update my system?
