VL53L1X being included when it shouldnt

[finkbr]

I have a private version of the VL53L1X driver ecause the driver in ncs2.9.0 hasnt been properly updated per my previous case.  They suggested changing the CONFIG_VL53L1X=y to something like CONFIG_VL53L1X_PRIV which I have done.  All of my code is compiled fine, however so is the driver from ncs2.9.0  So i get duplicate definitions.  What would be causing this driver to still be included?

c:/ncs/toolchains/b620d30767/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-zephyr-eabi/12.2.0/../../../../arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/ld.bfd.exe: zephyr/drivers/sensor/st/vl53l1x/libdrivers__sensor__st__vl53l1x.a(vl53l1_platform.c.obj): in function `VL53L1_WriteMulti':
C:/ncs/v2.9.0/zephyr/drivers/sensor/st/vl53l1x/vl53l1_platform.c:25: multiple definition of `VL53L1_WriteMulti'; app/libapp.a(vl53l1_platform.c.obj):C:/Users/-----/source/repos/hhhhhh-plus/cpuapp/src/vl53l1x/vl53l1_platform.c:25: first defined here

etc...

I have defined a new config: 

CONFIG_VL53L1X_ABC=y

my kconfig file now contains:

menuconfig VL53L1X_ABC
	bool "VL53L1X time of flight sensor"
	#depends on I2C <--took out because of a circular reference
	select HAS_STLIB
	help
	  Enable driver for VL53L1X_ABC I2C-based time of flight sensor.

if VL53L1X_ABC

config VL53L1X_PROXIMITY_THRESHOLD
	int "Proximity threshold in millimeters"
	default 100
	depends on VL53L1X_ABC
	help
	  Threshold used for proximity detection when sensor is used with SENSOR_CHAN_PROX.

config VL53L1X_INTERRUPT_MODE
	bool "Use interrupt mode for VL53L1X time of flight sensor"
	default n
	depends on GPIO
	help
	  Enable interrupt mode for VL53L1X time of flight sensor. Otherwise,
	  the driver will use the polling method.

config VL53L1X_XSHUT
	bool "Use xshut pin on VL53L1X time of flight sensor"
  default n
	depends on GPIO
	help
	  Enable to use the xshut pin on the VL53L1X. If not, the pin should be
	  connected to VDD.

module = VL53L1X_ABC
module-str = VL53L1X_ABC
source "${ZEPHYR_BASE}/subsys/logging/Kconfig.template.log_config"

module = RANGER
module-str = RANGER
source "${ZEPHYR_BASE}/subsys/logging/Kconfig.template.log_config"

endif # VL53L1X_ABC

Im not sure what else i have to do.  im working my way through devacademy but that obviously takes some time.  ive been tasked to get this code from 2.3.0 to 2.9.0 and have made great progress and i think this is the last problem since it happens during link.
