Uploaded them.

Still missing patchmatic output.
And you forgot to press F2 and F4 before collecting EFI/Clover.

Please read "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully.

Problems:
- kexts not installed correctly (read post #2 of the guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/)
- ioreg shows audio not working
- "hda-gfx" not injected. see guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...o-sandy-ivy-haswell-broadwell-skylake.232996/
- MacBookPro14,3 is a poor choice. Use MacBookPro14,1 or MacBookPro11,1
- drivers64UEFI is wrong (see guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/)

I used it, but still screen does not turn on after sleep & audio doesnt work. Also, can you tell me what kexts you have installed in S/L/E

HDMI audio is managed by Intel not Nvidia

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

The MacBookPro13,3 has dual GPU (Intel+AMD). I'm not certain there are any current Apple products that use Nvidia (you can check on everymac.com).

Yes. MacBookPro13,3 only has dual GPU (Intel+AMD). So can you give me advice about smbios for this laptop because you said smbios 13.3 is poor choice due to Gmux.

Given your system is primarily Nvidia, your guess is as good as mine. I don't think there are any Apple products with similar CPU/graphics configuration.
Trial/error is probably the best way to determine the best choice.
