After running this;

git clone -b workstation-15.0.2 https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd vmware-host-modules
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

re-install the linux headers that are needed. I'm using Arch and have the yay package manager installed, so for me is;
yay -S linux-headers

then reinstall;
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

should then complete without errors
