I found Steam Flatpak would keep old Nvidia runtimes overtime. Using uninstall --unused doesn't clean up the old versions. I fix this by I uninstalling Steam and run uninstall --unused, then installing Steam again.
This is the output of flatpak list | grep -i nvidia before uninstall:
nvidia-535-98 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-98 1.4 flathub system
nvidia-530-41-03 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-530-41-03 1.4 flathub system
nvidia-535-54-03 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-54-03 1.4 flathub system

This is the output of flatpak remove --unused after uninstalling Steam:
These runtimes in installation 'system' are pinned and won't be removed; see flatpak-pin(1):
