I did a yum install kmod-e1000e on my Vbox hosted CentOS 7 which was 
using the distro e1000e module for its network connection. The package 
installs OK and modinfo after the reboot says it's using the ELRepo copy

filename: 
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.42.2.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/e1000e/e1000e.ko
version:        3.8.4-NAPI

Mine is kmod-e1000e-3.8.4-4.el7_9.elrepo.x86_64 which is not the same 
version as yours. Try a yum update after installing the elrepo-release 
package - which you need to do anyway so that you get future updates to 
allow it to run with future kernels that break the stable KABI.
