Freshly installed NoMachine getting PAM errors

[rubbertoe]

Was wondering if i could get some help.  I installed NoMachine but when i try and remote in using NoMachine i get a desktop where it asks for my login.  I enter my creds and i cant get into my desktop it just kicks me back to login screen. Its just a clean install of the rpm, I haven’t made any changes.  I tried the latest version and this version is 8.13 on RHEL8.10 on GNOME.

[root@servername ~]# systemctl status nxserver
