Remove what exactly please?
This seems to be the working driver package:
This is another one that you’ve installed:
So, remove the non-working package:
sudo pacman -R rtl8822bu-dkms-git
and make sure the working one is installed:
yay -S rtl88x2bu-dkms-git --needed
Oops. I already did the command.

Seems like it’s building properly now?
Well as a newbie I can’t tell if it was build properly. Sorry.
I will restart and see if it works.
Guys I restarted and now my ethernet is not working anymore. I’m on my android phone right now. 
There are like 5 newer Bios updates for this motherboard. (Asus M32CD) I would update to the latest version which is dated 2018/07/23
Edit: Hopefully this is the right board.
Ok but how do I use my ethernet again? Before the restart it worked but now not anymore.
I guess uninstall the wifi package and reboot and see. Then update the Bios on the motherboard and go from there. It may help. This is older hardware and your current Bios is 2015.
Yes 2015. Is there a command for deleting the wifi package?
You already had it above.
sudo pacman -R rtl88x2bu-dkms-git
Edit: Hopefully your ethernet works after uninstalling this and rebooting.

Thx I hope so too. Now restart.
Ethernet doesn’t work.
Try these commands?
sudo rmmod r8169
sudo modprobe r8169

Okay so it wasn’t loaded. The second command loads it. So it still doesn’t work?
