regulatory.db failing to load

[Adam22]

On the ROCK 5B+, I am getting the following error at boot

[   12.361648] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database
[   12.389297] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7'

[   12.392699] cfg80211: loaded regulatory.db is malformed or signature is missing/invalid

 

I believe this is the cause of being unable to set the regulatory region for WiFi.
Running

sudo iw reg get

returns
