asking for CUDA 124 when only CUDA 126 exists

System Info

Nvidia V100 GPU
HPC server
conda installation

Reproduction

instead of having a .conda folder in your home folder. have a symlink to the actual folder, stored in a different /scratch/ directory. i.e. by using `ln -s /scratch/.conda ~/.conda

Install scipy (from conda)
Install bitsandbytes from .conda file (for offline installation) here

Installation runs normally.
When running import bitsandbytes, the following warning is given:

Could not find the bitsandbytes CUDA binary at PosixPath('/hpc/<USER>/.conda/envs/<PROJECT>/lib/python3.11/site-packages/bitsandbytes/libbitsandbytes_cuda124.so')
The installed version of bitsandbytes was compiled without GPU support. 8-bit optimizers, 8-bit multiplication, and GPU quantization are unavailable.

I have manually checked the path, following the symlink, and libbitsandbytes_cuda124.so does not exist but libbitsandbytes_cuda126.so exists.

Expected behavior

There should be some flexibility in the cuda version? I may have incorrectly installed the package
