That’s fair enough then, it sounds like a good, solid reason.
The releases happen often enough (in my opinion) that only a developer of Hyprland needs the hyprland*gits. Gits aren’t good places to live for a user-level person.
That’s up to the individual of course, but that’s my two cents.

Remove them all, Do not reboot, reinstall them all.
yay -R hyprland hyprgraphics-git hyprlang-git hyprpaper-git hyprcursor hyprland-qt-support
# Then:
yay -S hyprland hyprgraphics hyprlang hyprpaper hyprcursor hyprland-qt-support
for the non-git version.
If it complains, add that package to both sides, you get the idea!

Take the git out (just copy and paste the commands I gave you in order into a terminal).
Copy from browser.
To paste in terminal use Ctrl+Shift+V

what is the difference between git and non git versions
Did you run the first command?
yay -R hyprland hyprgraphics-git hyprlang-git hyprpaper-git hyprcursor hyprland-qt-support
yes but then I replace -R with -S to install what I removed before getting the errors
NO! uninstall git reinstall non-git - two commands, if the -R command fails give us the output. FFS

The non-git versions are “proper” releases and the git versions are latest version checked in to the the repository. The git version is more up to date but can, on occasion, cause problems.

a -git version is usually for those who need bleeding edge that is NOT supported. Mostly developers have a -git version to introduce new aspects of the project. Some which will eventually carry over to normal naming. Unless you have a unique issue that requires a -git package it is recommended to use the non -git version. Most normal users will find everything they need in the normal packages. Think of a -git package as EXPERIMENTAL.

Add aquamarine to both commands
but what is aquamarine
According to yay -Ss aquamarine it’s a very light linux rendering backend library, so it’s probably used by Hyprland.
hyprland wayland compositor, remove and reinstall so now:
yay -R hyprutils-git aquamarine
then
yay -S hyprland hyprgraphics hyprlang hyprpaper hyprcursor hyprland-qt-support aquamarine hyprutilsafter that I can just eos-update --aur
Hopefully.
