Description
I managed to build nvidia-settings for 525.116.04 which you don't
provide a version for (running on openSUSE with nvidia drivers
from URL: https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.5
which don't include the nvidia-settings utility).
The nvidia version is hardcoded in a number of places. It would be better
to set it once in the top level src directory.
A readme file would be helpful for build instructions
(An open SUSE quirk was that their wayland include
files are in /usr/include/wayland, not /usr/include)
If there was any encouragement to do so, I could make a PR request for these changes

Research direction
Start in the top-level src directory by locating the existing hardcoded NVIDIA version values and the build entry points. Add a single version source and create README.md with build instructions, including the openSUSE Wayland include-path detail; done means the version is no longer duplicated and the instructions cover a successful build.
