(From nvidia-detect)
$ nvidia-detect 10de:0391
Checking driver support for PCI ID [10de:0391]
Your card is only supported by the 304 legacy drivers series, which is 
only available up to stretch.

In other words; downgrade Buster to Stretch if you want to use the 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx packages
Maybe you can install the 304 driver, but you must downgrade the Xserver 
to version 1.19
