Tried to install lutris in ubuntu through flatpak and it really screwed things up. Probably about to wipe and reinstall, but wondering what elements to choose differently. I want my Epic store games working in linux :( The Steam/Proton install was working fine.

However, it worked fine with Pop!_OS. I think there are deps Lutris needs that are already setup in Pop!_OS.
But what's weird is that, it should've worked as a flatpak installation regardless, yet it isn't.
In any case, try Pop!_OS, I'm using the flatpak version of Lutris as it's more updated. Then I combine it with the flatpak Proton_Qt to get the latest Wine, dxvk, vkd3d for both Steam and Lutris.

There's definitely something Lutris needs but is not showing us when trying it on Ubuntu.
In any case, with Pop!_OS, while not exactly made for gaming, for me, it's the best Ubuntu-based distro for gaming; and flathub is integrated by default. So, it's a plus too.
If you have an NVIDIA card, they also have an NVIDIA release with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed (if you prefer that).
