Because 53.1.6 was just released yesterday, and the third-party repositories are still working on upgrading their packages for the new kernel.  I know this is no consolation to you, but had you installed two days ago, you'd have gotten 53.1.4, found all the kernel modules you needed, and be moving forward.

AFAIK, you only have two choices: go download 53.1.4 and install it, or hang in there a day or two until the repositories catch up to the kernel.

HTH,

Dan.
