ABJB,
Welcome to Gentoo.
You may be missing firmware. Did you install linux-firmware?
Are there any errors in about missing firmware or firmware failing to load?

yes i did install linux-firmware.
i used grep to go through dmesg and i got two errors:
| Code: | i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/tgl_dmc_ver2_12.bin failed with error -2
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Failed to load DMC firmware i915/tgl_dmc_ver2_12.bin (-ENOENT). Disabling runtime power management.
Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load Intel firmware file intel/ibt-19-0-4.sfi (-2) |
im guessing this means that my bluetooth isnt working aswell. |

ABJB,
It means that your GPU has no power management and your bluetooth is not working.
If those files exist in /lib/firmware, I suspect the the kernel has those items configured as =y rather than -m ant the firmware is not included in the kernel binary.

What does say about your wifi?

in /lib/firmware, the only items listed are:
intel
regulatory.db
regulatory.db.p7s
when running lspci -nnk. this is what it says:
| Code: | 0000:00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 [8086:a0f0] (rev 20)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0074]
Kernel modules: iwlwifi |
