Unable to compile vmmon and worksation 16.2.0 with Centos 8

[CaptJohn6]

I just upgraded VM Workstation Player from 16.1.0 to 16.2.0 and also installed the latest kernel on Centos 8 ver 4.18.0-305.19.1.el8_4.x86_64.  When I launch VM Player it wants to compile vmmon and vmnet but it errors.  Is there a work around for this issue?

Did you see the following conversation and the solution that worked there (towards the end of the thread)?

"[SOLVED] vmplayer 16.1.2 compile error on Fedora 34"

I still have been unable to compile vmmon with Centos 8 kernel 4.18.0-305 but if I roll back to kernel 4.18.0.240 it works.  The post you linked me does not provide enough instructions as to how to apply the patch.  If I could get more specific instructions then it may work.
