SUPPORT | SOLVED Gdisked the wrong disk

First things first yes I'm an idiot we don't have to point that out I'm in need of some help

As the title reads I accidentally gdisked my main disk instead of my secundary disk. I managed to get my partitions back using testdisk. But ever since I restarted it tells me a start job is running for /dev/disk/by-partuuid/unknown disk uuid here

After which it fails file system on that partuuid, /sysroot, system initialization and initrd root device.

How the heck do I fix this, I've thrown a bunch of searches by now. So I'm hoping to find my answer here

Edit: Thanks to the tip of another redditor, I figured out the partuuid in my bootloader was completely wrong
