Bootloop after install of bigsur on asus z490-e / i9 10900/ intel 630 UHD /samsung 990pro heatsink

Hello all, any help with the following would be GREATLY appreciated. I have spent every second of my free time for the last month trying to get this fresh build to work, I have a used thunderbolt card sitting in the box from ebay because getting to that point still seems like an eternity from now, if it ever comes....

I have attached logs via opencore verbose /debug. I have a working hack that is also comet lake 10th gen, its a i7 NUC that works great but wanted /need to upgrade core count for auDIO production.

I have followed the opencore guide, I have tried various versions of big sur, 11.2 up to the 11.7. that is installed on my samsung 990 pro w/heatsink NVME

I actually got big sur installed via recovery, but i have never made it to the "Setup your mac screen" - i am stuck in a boot loop that will not progress no matter what I try. I work 60+ hours a week and have a brand new kiddo, so I am at the point where I have spent sooooo many hours doing this that I could have done 10000 other things, its getting to the point of selling out to paid help. I don't want to give in, I am hoping somebody here can help.

Before you ask , I haven't been able to usb map so used a kext mapping from the same board via efi on line. I know it sucks but I have no other operating system on the ssd and cant make it into macOS to map.

I would love to hear any good ideas from the community, I admit i am no expert at all, and am hoping for some relief. Attached are logs, + efi

Whatever other info would be good to know - please ask and I will do my best to provide, I Am surely leaving crucial info out..

Thanks in advance !
