Switching to Nvidia Graphics Card, using prime-select nvidia?

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04. I would like to switch to my nvidia gpu, it's currently using the integrated gpu. I've used the command prime-select nvidia but when I go to settings -> about it still says i'm using the Intel gpu?

The current gpu that is being used is NV137 / Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 630 (KBL GT2). I want to switch to my nvidia 1050Ti. I'm not sure if my laptop has hybrid graphics or a desktop with a dedicated GPU. I do not know why my laptop was not already using my nvidia 1050Ti. The card was not recently installed, when I was using windows it was using my 1050Ti fine. The exact command I used was 'sudo prime-select nvidia' (excluding apostrophes). The output of the command was this. The reason I know i'm still only using the Intel GPU is it says it in the about section of the settings and when I play games they all use that GPU instead of my 1050Ti. I do not know what Nvidia driver version I have. I haven't manually installed anything regarding to nvidia because I figured it would already have it.
