You don't need to apply any patches for you kernel.

Probably you installed msi-ec previously, so you need to remove it first with:

sudo make dkms-uninstall

Then run install

sudo make dkms-install

And reboot to load module and allow service so find new features

this is my result

yuan@msi-ubuntu:~$ sudo make dkms-uninstall
[sudo] password for yuan: 
make: *** No rule to make target 'dkms-uninstall'.  Stop.

I didn't installed msi-ec before

Thank you for the quick reply

You need to cd to project directory first or open terminal there

Hello, I have successfully managed to control the fans and other components. I've currently made a simple UI to conveniently control my computer's devices.
Here is my project: https://github.com/yuan-0816/mis-ec-UI/tree/main.
I'm a beginner, but I want to make this community more user-friendly.
