I recommend that you share more detail on what you tried and how it's
working for you or not. That way, the community should be able to help
you focus the attack for your specific case, given what you recall about
the password. This is far more important than using your GPUs better or
at all. Even a 100x difference in performance isn't as important as
properly focusing the attack.

I'm out of context on this, but "opencl was removed unless I am using
Nvidia cards" makes no sense to me. I'm not setting up new GPU boxes
often, but FWIW here are (edited) commands I saved from my shell history
on a client's Ubuntu 18.x setup I helped make a few months ago:
sudo bash
apt-get install libssl-dev opencl-headers ocl-icd-opencl-dev clinfo
cd /path/to/amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594
./amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=pal,legacy --headless
JtR worked there with the AMD GPUs fine.
