Did you check the full pathname I gave you?

But you don't really need to "see" the file.

The modprobe command has no output when successful. It just loads the
module into the running kernel with any dependent modules loaded as
well, and then the shell makes a prompt for the next command.

At that point you go back to the installation with Alt-F1 which
hopefully will find the /dev/nvme0n1 disk for you to partition and
install on.

It may be worth to verify that you've got the /dev//dev/nvme0n1 device
node (which possibly has major 259 and minor 0) before continuing the
installation.
