Please, check

rpm -qa | grep nvidia

If you have xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-195.36.08-* and 
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-195.36.08-*

you can run

yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs

to get 190.53 version.

Also, it is better to

yum install akmod-nvidia

This will automatically install proper nvidia module even for older 
kernel if you need to downgrade in case if new kernel will not work.
