Monterey doesn’t want to see 13 mini on ios 15.2

No, I am not lazy, I’ve spent two evenings researching the problem and it seems like I do need help.

I got a brand new 13 mini but presumably made for OAE, MLJF3AH/A model. Yes, my setup is somewhat bizzare, it’s a white plastic macbook7.1 2009 running Monterey under OCLP 2.4.1. Yes, the system report tells me there's an iphone on usb port, the finder sometimes can detect my 13 mini for a few seconds, and it recognises a phone when I put it in DFU mode, but stil refuses to restore even with the right .ipsw file. Monterey once managed to download some extra software needed to operate my mini but it changed nothing. I don't want to upgrade ios since I plan to jailbreake the thing, so I have to stay on 15.2 which I got with the phone.

Anyone may have experienced something similar to give me some advice where to go from here, please ?
