I've updated repo, uninstall, reboot, install and check if it works. If not, give me output of this sudo dmidecode | grep "Product Name" -B 2 -A 4

In that case I can't help, sorry. You'll need to figure it out yourself. If you are a programmer, maybe watching my series can give you a starting point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97-WNhUmoig&list=PLv2kA4LxAI4Dq2ic_hU9bdvxIzoz5SzBr

isnt your playlist more towards making software communicate with rgb lights but for me the rgb lights work fine except for the gpu fan not working so how should i proceed in order to solve this problem

Yes but they are similar. You can De-compile NitroSense and find out how the turbo mode function works.

I have the same model. The only workaround i know is to use nbfc-linux. Just pick config of any acer nitro close to the model. I had picked this config "Acer Nitro AN515-51". It is working fine and i am able change my fan manually and auto mode is also working fine.

well i did try using nbfc-linux but that did not help. an515-51 config file would never change my current fan speed

Can you tell me the commands you used to try to change the fan speed

Try this command

 sudo nbfc set -f 1 -s 100

Your fan should ramp up to full speed.

i have used this command it only changes the target fan speed but the current fan speed in unaffected
