Issues with mounting a barebones Linux Security Module.

I'm working on mounting a custom security module in kernel version 6.5.6,and it's never mounted for some reason.
I've made the code for the basic outline of the security module I'm testing public on github.
https://github.com/Nucl3arSn3k/LSM-test
To build the module as part of the new kernel, I used

Code:

make menuconfig

,checked to see if the module was enabled and then used

Code:

make bzImage

to build the kernel with the custom module.
I then used

Code:

make modules

and

Code:

make modules_install

to set up the modules for the kernel, then used

Code:

make install

to successfully install kernel version 6.5.6. However, on reboot, the custom module I wrote does not show as being enabled. I'm unsure what's going on at this point.

I see this question has been open for awhile, with no answers. I'll just say that I think this is not a good place to ask such a question, you'll probably have more luck asking in a place where people learn and engage in Kernel development, like mailing lists, IRC or something like that.

If they feel the question is worth answering, I'm sure they will offer good help and advice.

Other than that modules are loaded with modprobe if not built in.

Did you try modprobe?

How would I use modprobe in this context?
