Ubuntu 21.10 Black Flickering Screen After Login

I recently upgrade to an SSD in my old laptop and reinstalled Ubuntu 21.10 on it to start fresh. However once it all was installed, after I login the only output i get is a black screen with occasional artifacting at the top of the screen. I am able to access the TTY terminal from the login screen luckily, but I've been stuck trying to find a fix for the problem for the past two days. So any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Here is a video of the flickering

 

Troubleshooting steps that have been tried:

  • Reinstalling the OS
  • Formatting the drive and then reinstalling the os
  • Trying a different distro (PopOS). Still have the same problem

Laptop Specs

HP 15-bw011dx

  • AMD A6-9220 APU
  • 4GB of Ram
  • AMD Radeon R4 Graphics
  • 120 GB SSD

I'm still a novice when it comes to using Linux so if there is some more information that you need just tell me how to get it and I can.
