I am using the VMware Appliance for Folding@Home on VMware Workstation Pro 17 on an Intel i5-10400 with 12 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 1650 super. Does anyone know how to setup vGPU via NVIDIA GRID?! I wish to use my GPU in Virtual Machines within VMware.

Can't. vGPU/GRID is only supported on Tesla/Quadro/A-series/GRID GPUs: https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/gpus-supported-by-vgpu.html. For consumer GPUs you're typically stuck with PCIe passthrough if you want to use it in a VM.
