How to switch to AMD graphics with AMD RAVEN/NVIDIA dual graphics

I think my laptop, an Asus Rog Zephyrus G G4502, is unable correctly switch graphics card with prime-select. I'm trying to turn off the nvidia gpu for better battery life

Edit 1: The power consumption after running sudo prime-select nvidia && reboot is lower than running sudo prime-select intel && reboot.

Software and Updates recognises the Nvidia card and drivers. Nvidia Settings currently gives me this:

(nvidia-settings:11339): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 14:27:26.898: g_object_unref: assertions 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no

I've tried to purge and reinstall nvidia drivers a dozen times(even clean installs).

Without xorg.conf file, nvidia-settings shows a blank screen. With this file it shows some info about the gpu but no PRIME profiles tab.

Edit 2: Output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display':
