OK for future generations.
If you have the modules loaded from Elrep then you will need to remove/uninstall them
You will then find later on that the new kernel has an updated version added - BUT - it is disabled so you will then need to follow the instructions in this thread to install the new version and then update the kernel to load the correct one.
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
dnf install epel-release
Then install kmod-mpt3sas
dnf --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-mpt3sas
once this is done - refer to this post to take you the rest of the way to get the module loaded and your initram updated
