If the grav waves are so much more than expected, does this imply a possible dark matter solution? (Link to PBS Spacetime's Gravitational waves vid from today)

I watched the link video as a lunch distraction from playing with AI. I can't recall if I saw or read anything about the broader implications for dark matter.
Does dark matter clump up like normal matter? I thought it was a lot smoother so wouldn't create waves of relevant size.
It ultimately depends on what particle the dark matter is made of. It's been a long time since I did any dark matter work, but from memory heavier candidate particles are more capable of forming structure because they move more slowly.
I never ended up pursuing that as a research area, so I'd take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, I just did a small project for a professor once.
