This appears to be working OK for me:

But I am using a slightly different version of this project it seems. Your version is from:

Update TROUBLESHOOTING.md
made explicit some additional troubleshooting steps when it comes to Xbox bluetooth failing.
but mine is later:

xpadneo, installer: Support installing documentation

There are also later commits than what I'm using. Perhaps try the latest from https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/releases ?
The "6.17+" they claim to be using appears to be based on 6.18. I also see the same two symbols fail when attempting to install on a 6.18-rc1 kernel.
v0.9 will not be supporting 6.17+ but v0.10 will. I'm going to tag that as stable "soonish". I'm going to rebase my kernel patches during the next days and will look at xpadneo while doing that.
