The Nvidia-Driver plugin may be essential. This post on UNRAID Forums can be referred to.

Do you have a Plex Pass subscription? Plex won't use hardware transcoding without one.

The Quadro M4000 shouldn't need any driver patches; NVENC sessions are unlocked on that model.

Space invader is a great resource, I watched his same video setting up mine. You will probably need the Nvidia plugin, you can easily get it through the community applications plugin. Needfuldoer already mentioned this but you will need plex pass to enable the function. Buy the lifetime pass, it is well worth it.
