If you have no idea what the hell drivers are, here is a video explaining all of it:
The TL:DR for those who just really don't feel like watching the entire video is basically think of drivers as a compatibility layer. A lot of people new to switch emulation think that their phone can run switch games and its always because they are not using drivers, which leads to issues with graphics.
1 - Go over to the menu of whatever android switch emulation on android

2 - Download the appropriate driver (usually the latest "Mesa turnip" driver) and add it.
The file usually comes as a ZIP file, you do NOT NEED to extract it. It is good to use/add as is!

3 - You're good to go!
You can find all drivers available to download here: GitHub - K11MCH1/AdrenoToolsDrivers: A repository for Skyline, Vita3K and Yuzu Android compatible Adreno drivers.
As I said, I would mostly recommend the latest Mesa turnip drivers as qualcomm ones tend to be buggy for me, but try what works best for you.
