macOS Sonoma wont start

Im trying to get MacOS running on VMWare. but its constantly crashing in various ways. ive installed the latest unlocker patch to vmware workstation pro 17 but it is not having any of it. My config vmx file is also attached below. Im running on a ryzen 5 3600X (overclocked to 4.1GHz, but i doubt that makes a difference)
