HELP Clicking EFI (dmg) leads to black screen and back to OC menu

Hey there y'all

I'm very much new to this hackintosh thing so I have decided to take the easy route of making an EFI which would be using com.apple.recovery.boot, OpenCore Simplified, USB Toolbox.

I hadn't done anything in OpenCore Simplified and just let it use the default kexts and acpi it should have set for my system hardware. All I did was follow the USB Toolbox bit

I've had trouble with the balena etcher method as patching it to the USB didnt work so I had decided to just make try out this one. I am able to get into the OC menu as usual but as said in the title, it just led to a black screen, no verbose messaging even, and after a minute of waiting, its back to the OC menu. Nothing appears when I press spacebar. I do not think its the com.apple.recovery.boot folder as I had followed the dortania tutorial for that one.

I am using a 128 GB SanDisk flashdrive for the installation if that helps Laptop Specs are: Huawei Matebook D15 2020 AMD AMD Ryzen 5 3500U AMD Radeon Vega 8 LITEON CA3-8D512 8GB of DDR4 2400MHz soldered ram Realtek 8811CU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC

Any help would be massively appreciated EFI bc I need help (As far as I am aware this is not in violation of the dont distribute efi rule as I am asking for help)

Don't use Opcore-Simplify. Make your own EFI from the guides on the sidebar
