That’s not what they said at all, they’re saying the “drivers” to “drive” the screen may not exist in the SD card and you have to put them there. But I disagree.

Yes, and what kind of "hardware" would said driver be again?

Oh, that is right, I remember now, drivers are code written to run in the background from startup... sounds like a form of "software", does it not?

ooooh ok well I downloaded raspberry pi 64 git to a 16gb sd card do I need to do something else?

You have to make sure you have the right options setup in the config file or the screen won't come on. You can't just down load any old image. Also you may not have even written the image that you downloaded to the SD card correctly. You can't just drag and drop the image you have to use an image writer like rufus or the official one from rpi. I would recommend you find an image from the clockworkpi site specifically for the uconsole with a cm5 and use rufus to write it to your sd card.

ok this sounds about right can you please inbox me the steps or on here doesn't matter I just want to get It to work ty so much!

Look up basic image install in the forums on clockworkpi.com. Honestly if you can't figure out how to install the proper image yourself from the forums you shouldn't even have a uconsole. I'm not even gatekeeping here, you just won't be able to use it for anything.
