❓What is the next Avenue to explore to disable AMFI❓

Background: Attempting to get Ventura working on old Laptop.

Used OpenCore Patcher to get Ventura successfully installed but it won't recognize the Video Card.

Attempted Post Install patches - cannot proceed because "AMFI enabled"

Attempted "csrutil disable" but nvram protection is still enabled. (see attached image)

Attempted "csrutil enable --without nvram"

Unable to change "NVRAM Protections: enabled" (see image)
