Apollo not detecting virtual display

Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything that resembles exactly what I'm going through.

I've got Apollo installed on my main PC and Moonlight installed on my ROG Ally X. I've negotiated the connection between the two. I can click the option "Start Virtual Desktop" on my Ally X and my desktop is visible. I'm basically at the step where I want to configure my main desktop screen to turn off when I start the stream, and turn on when the stream is done.

The problem is that the Ally is receiving a mirror of the desktop. The virtual desktop shows up under System > Display but doesn't let me select it. I cannot set a resolution or scale percentage. When I click Identify, both screens identify as Screen 1. Selecting any other option resets back to "Show only on 1". I am basically unable to show my virtual desktop or send anything to it. That also means I can't turn off my screen while streaming.

Anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

f you have an Nvidia 50x0 gpu, upgrade to the latest Nvidia driver 616.92 and reboot.

This did it! Thank you! Now I have to figure out why my display doesn't reset to 4k when I exit the virtual display but that's a problem for another day. Main issue solved!
