That was my mistake. I removed the BT firmware from rtw89 as it belongs in the 
rtw89-BT repo that I also maintain, but I forgot the copy in the Makefile.

Do a 'git pull' and 'sudo make install' again. It will now work.

As to the error you get when loading a module. That usually means that your 
kernel headers do not match your running kernel, but you need to look at the 
output of the dmesg command to tell for sure.
