Due to flatpak's sandboxed nature, it has to bundle libraries such as graphics drivers. However, it (the runtime) provides a way to work around this a bit: org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.host.
The PKGBUILD would need to install the binaries to the appropriate /var directory. Symlinks wouldn't work, as they wouldn't resolve inside of bubblewrap.
Flatpak also has a utility built in that runs on every flatpak update so that the NVIDIA drivers are synced, however this needs to be ran whenever the host NVIDIA driver is updated.
