May be that this is @Sir_Aim's problem, too.

No, I don't have any PAM related errors. And sddm login works fine with nouveau.

I just checked that: 'find . ! -user aim' in my homedir does not show any result - so all file permissions should be ok.

The failed graphical logins don't appear in .xsession-errors. It only has entries for the successful starts from startx.
So i guess whatever goes wrong happens before the xsession is started.

After login the screen turns black for a few seconds and throws me back to the login screen...

If you have accidentally left a file owned by root in the user's /home/user directory, it can cause that problem. Also, take a look at the file /home/user/.xsession-errors and see if tells anything useful.

I have exactly the same problem (login loop after Nvidia driver installation) and start my PC the same way as you (startx...). There is no further information about errors to be found in Nvidia and Xorg log.

At some point I found this error with "journalctl -p err -b":

Apr 07 09:41:25 xxxx login[5199]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_lastlog.so

The reason why it can't find /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog.so is because there is no /secutity folder under /lib.
Since English is not my native language, I unfortunately didn't understand the solutions on Stackoverflow and co.

I have the same 5 nvidia-x modules and the file sizes match yours.

During boot, I noticed an error about nvidia-persistenced.service not starting. I'm looking into that.

nvidia-470xx is not compatible with kernel 6.8.2+

And since i don't have found a working patch for nvidia-470xx, is can't do anything yet.

modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia-driver_error.txt not found in directory /lib/modules/6.8.3-1-siduction-amd64
I'm way over my head on this, but does this mean something is missing from the driver package?

I do not think so. This is the contents of my directory "/lib/modules/6.8.3-1-siduction-amd64/updates/dkms":
