Use VMware Workstation 15.5.6 instead because the patch that is available works with Ubuntu 20.04 with older kernel version 5.4.
VMware patch: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-15.5.6
Get older kernel version 5.4 by following this https://linuxhint.com/update_ubuntu_kernel_20_04/
This saved me 99 dollars to upgrade to VMware Workstation 16.
