Help: TP-Link Archer TX20U Plus Not Recognized on Raspberry Pi 5 with Kali Linux (Kernel 6.6.45-v8+)

I am using a Raspberry Pi 5 with Kali Linux installed, running the kernel version 6.6.45-v8+. I am trying to set up a TP-Link Archer TX20U Plus WiFi adapter, but the system does not recognize the adapter. I tried to build the driver from the TP-Link website, but I ran into an issue: my kernel version (6.6.45-v8+) is not available in the kernel headers directory for download. Without the appropriate kernel headers, I am unable to compile the driver.
I’ve already tried the following:
- Ensured that USB ports are functional.
- Searched for precompiled drivers or patches for this kernel version.
- Attempted to update the kernel or kernel headers without success.
What steps can I take to either obtain the missing kernel headers or make this adapter work with my current setup? Are there alternative drivers or configurations I can use?
kindly help me running this adapter on my kali machine and help me saving money too
