I am using intel uhd 630 and it is only showing 7mb vram.

No it's not normal.
Ensure that DVMT is set to at least 64mb.

Generally, it's because macOS does not recognize the device id if your iGPU (ie if you set it to something else yourself) or use an ig-platform-id which macOS doesn't recognize. 7MB means that the iGPU drivers are not attaching, and that your using VESA graphics. I'd double check your ig-platform-id and get rid of the device-id field. If that doesn't work, you can try using a device id from the guide. More people though seem to mess up using a device id (and not setting it correctly) than people do benefit from setting it, especially for Coffelake.

If it was an issue with DVMT, macOS generally gives a panic, with memInit or getUnifiedMemory somewhere in the stacktrace. If you can set it, do set it to atleast 64MB - but it likely isn't the core issue here

Attach your EFI and maybe someone can take a look and point you in the right direction
