Actually, I need to correct my previous post. The package I listed will 
install the 6.0 oem kernel, but won't pull in the header files. The 
package to do that is "linux-oem-22.04b" This metapackage has 
dependencies on the linux-image and linux-header packages. Just install 
it and it'll automatically pull in the headers package but not the 
linux-image one since you've already installed it.

Now, you won't need to uninstall the linux-image package, but you will 
need to change its package status from manually installed to 
automatically installed. This is so that an upgrade to the 
linux-oem-22.04b metapackage will automatically upgrade both the 
linux-image-oem-22.04b and linux-headers-oem-22.04b packages.

To change the status of the linux-image package, use the apt-mark utility.

$ sudo apt-mark auto linux-image-oem-22.04b

So, install status should be:
linux-oem-22.04b - manual
linux-image-oem-22.04b - automatic
linux-headers-oem-22.04b - automatic

Sorry I didn't catch that about the headers in my previous reply.
