Such a nicely written blog for Nvidia installation.
I had an experience at step 2.9; before rebooting with graphics run “nvidia-smi”.
Else either laptop is hanged at/or before login(with secure boot is disable/off) or with secure boot enabled I was able to see desktop but nvidia drivers were not working.
I wish to report that CentOS Stream 9 kernel 5.14.0-183.el9.x86_64 fails to build with NVIDIA 470.141.03, whereas the previous kernel 5.14.0-177.el9.x86_64 did. The error is as follows:
LD [M] /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.141.03/build/nvidia-peermem.o
MODPOST /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.141.03/build/Module.symvers

This is with the standard gcc version 11.3.1 20220421 (Red Hat 11.3.1-2), and the graphics card is an NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [NVS 510].
