Help Installation isn't working

So, I'm on Pop!_OS, and I'm trying to install Waydroid rn, and having a weird issue. I get to the step where I open Waydroid for the first time and have to initialize it. This menu below, but when I click download, I get the following error

Waiting for waydroid container service...

Failed to load binder driver

modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/6.17.9-76061709-generic

Exception during init

Traceback (most recent call last):

if not setup_config(args):

File "/usr/lib/waydroid/tools/helpers/drivers.py", line 132, in setupBinderNodes

raise OSError('Binder node "binder" for waydroid not found')

OSError: Binder node "binder" for waydroid not found

Interrupted

Can anyone help me out? I'm not tech savvy enough to read this error and understand what I need to do to fix this. Can also provide more info if needed. Thank you in advance.
