Prime correlation conjecture for Kloosterman sums and cusp-form eigenvalues

From papers

Let ff be a fixed primitive cusp form, holomorphic or Maass, and let λf(p)\lambda_f(p) denote its Hecke eigenvalue at a prime pp. Write L=logX\mathcal{L}=\log X. Prime correlation conjecture. For all sufficiently large XX,

pXλf(p)Kl(1,p)=o(XL1).\sum_{p\leq X}\lambda_f(p)\mathrm{Kl}(1,p)=o\left(X\mathcal{L}^{-1}\right).

The conjecture is proposed as a correlation estimate between Kloosterman sums and Hecke eigenvalues. If true, the source says it would imply that for 100%100\% of primes pp, one has λf(p)Kl(1,p)\lambda_f(p)\neq\mathrm{Kl}(1,p) for each primitive cusp form ff, giving a negative answer to Katz's modularity problem III. No resolution is given.
