Sorry, support for CentOS / RHEL 7 has been discontinued due to a too old kernel version and backwards-incompatible Netlink changes. I think the easiest way would be to add a dependency on a newer kernel, e.g. kernel-lt which is now afaik 5.4 (supported).
Or you can try to revert commit d61505b039bf0aa6697e28b2a4e07907c89ba1fb. I can't guarantee it working out of the box, though.
