For many years - 20 or more - I've been installing without problems the Nvidia GEForce drivers in successive editions of openSUSE/Leap "the hard way", using nVidia's xxx.run packages.

But there was no indication why the mismatch was occurring (the nouveau stuff is properly disabled, so it wasn't that).
Have you run 'depmod -a' and have you regenerated the initrd? Because if there's still the old module in there it gets loaded before the new one can.
Thanks. And yes; regenerating the initrd fixed the issue for the time being. -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand
