When installing an RPM compiled from source, seeing and error and it doesn't look like the dnf is resolving the kernel package.
# dnf install rtl8812au-kmod-4.3.14-2.x86_64.rpm kernel-5.5.7-200.fc31.x86_64 Last metadata expiration check: 0:17:25 ago on Tue 10 Mar 2020 10:09:05 PM EDT. Package kernel-5.5.7-200.fc31.x86_64 is already installed. Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides kernel = 5.5.7-200.fc31.x86_64 needed by rtl8812au-kmod-4.3.14-2.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

What happens if you try to only install the kmod package?

Same result, tried to install the RPM first, included the kernel to see if DNF would resolve it. # dnf install rtl8812au-kmod-4.3.14-2.x86_64.rpm Last metadata expiration check: 0:20:27 ago on Wed 11 Mar 2020 10:18:58 AM EDT.

maybe (?!)
sudo dnf localinstall ./rtl8812au-kmod-4.3.14-2.x86_64.rpm
That means the rpm is built wrong.
Generally I don't do one-ofs like this as an RPM. The RPM does not actually solve any real issues, and it can cause issues like the one you have.
You should (it may be part of the source for that module) have code to tied it to akmods such that it gets rebuilt when you get a new kernel. That is assuming the code will still compile on the new kernel. With the 8814 I was using every 2-3 kernel versions I had to get updated code. It was a major pain.

From "man dnf": Localinstall Command Deprecated alias for the Install Command.
Okay, something learned. THX
