wireguard docker client error with ip6_tables

Hi! I am trying to set up a wireguard client in docker. I use the linuxserver image, I it running in server mode on a different machine (exactly the same ubuntu version) and i can login with my laptop to the wireguard server, but the docker wg-client has problems, i hope someone has an idea :)

The client docker container has trouble starting and throws this error: [___](modprobe: FATAL: Module ip6_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/6.8.0-47-generic ip6tables-restore v1.8.10 (legacy): ip6tables-restore: unable to initialize table 'raw' Error occurred at line: 1 Try 'ip6tables-restore -h' or 'ip6tables-restore --help' for more information. )

I copied the config to the server with the wg server running, it has the same problem with the client. I can ping google.com from inside the server container, but not from inside the client container. Here is the output of the 'route' cmd from the client:Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.18.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

I searched for a solution quite a bit, but cant seem to find something that works. changed the .yml compose file according to some suggestions but without success.

I tried to install the missing module but could not get it working.

Its a completely clean install of ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-47-generic.

here is the compose file, in case its needed, it should be exact same one as provided by linux-server in their github:
