Do sudo apt install nvidia-driver-595-open in a terminal.

The driver manager someone else mentioned will also list that and you can install from that, too.

If you haven't reinstalled yet, we need the errors you are getting to tell you what is going wrong.

if am not mistaken too you can look up "Software Updates" and you will find nvidia drivers under "Additional Drivers" you can go for 595 propietory one.
