Try changing it to 13,2 in Clover Configurator then reboot and check About this Mac and see if it changes there too.

So I gave that a try and nothing changed in the about this macmor system report. I first tried with multibeast and then tried it in clover config and neither method changed it. I’m really scratching my head here

What's most important is what is in your config.plist not in About this Mac. 14,2 is so close to 13,2 that it really makes no difference if you see that in A.T.M. Nothing to lose sleep over.

It's just bugging the crap out of me because its never done this. Now I am running this new drive via a SATA USB adapter so I don't know if since its not hooked up internally into the machine that that could be doing it but this will drive me insane slowly haha

I have attached some screen shots of clover config for those of you to look at and give me some insight into.

Gave that a try and it didn't seem to take. Finally I unplugged my USB Installer and my extra drive I was using to create my fusion drive and configure the EFI Folder to then copy over, and gave it another restart and it now is all correct!

 

[BenTheJeepGuy]

Yes!, if you succeed in booting the fusion drive into macOS let us know. I'd be really interested to hear if you can get it working.
Also compare prices with NVMe and SSD, they're roughly equal, sometimes you can find cheaper NVMe drives than same storage capacity SSD!. you can get macOS to boot from an NVMe on your board via an adapter in either the PCIe X 4 or PCIe X 16 slot, and it's very fast!. Twice as fast than a fusion drive on a 2014 Mac mini in my experience.

So far that seems to have done the trick! I have only the fusion drive connected, my USB Installer and my external bootable HDD both with clover are both disconnected entirely from the machine and it booted into clover and everything seems to work!... Most things at least. I don't have audio from the 3.5mm line out on the back of the machine so still working on that.

Finally I unplugged my USB Installer

You were booting from your USB installer which is set to iMac 14,2 that's why you saw that in about this mac.

 

[BenTheJeepGuy]

I honestly didn’t even think about that! Haha here I am pulling my hair out over something so simple! Lol can you tell I’m still a bit of a noob? Thanks for y’all’s help! Seems I finally got it all working, even audio AND the Fusion Drive! Whoop whoop!

Still getting a sleep wake failure though that causes it to restart. Anyone know where I can start with that one?
