Thanks...I think I got it now. I started over with the correct PLRP and got it working!Hi there.
Okay, a couple of things:
1) the IOReg output seems to be corrupted (or from a different version of IORegExp). It doesn't load and is much larger than it needs to be. Given your hardware, the IOReg output should probably be something like 4 or 5MB only, I think.
2) The SSDT works fine but has a couple of issues. The HS ports are only defined as USB2 - "UsbConnector", 0, - This isn't necessarily wrong, but for such a modern motherboard seems unlikely. Your motherboard spec shows only 2x USB 2 ports on the back panel. I mentioned this previously.
Also I see you configure SS12 as type "3" and HS12 as type "0". On most full-size Z370 boards this would probably be the same physical port. So if it is a USB3 port then, given it has more electrical contacts in it, the HS port definition needs to be "3" as well. If it really is a USB2 port only, then it shouldn't have an SS equivalent etc
3) You have only defined 9x USB ports in total: 6x USB2 and 3x USB3.
Did you put USBInjectAll.kext in place? I can't see what version macOS you are using, nor which port-limit removal patch you used, but it would be needed for port discovery etc.
There has always been a need to try and simplify and explain the configuration process so that more builders can get good, stable USB functionality out of a broad range of hardware.
I definitely used the template you provided; however, after compiling in MaciASL, it was changed to what you see...don't know.Hi there.
1) Ok, the IORegEx output loaded fine this time
2) You are not using the template I list in the guide so I'm wondering if we are building on a previously different method to get the ports working? That being the case it's difficult to see what has happened previously and offer advice.
This guide is only ever meant to be a Beginner's Guide. Obviously there are other, more comprehensive ones.
Having said that ...
3) Your motherboard comes with many more ports than the 8x you chose:

If you ignore the ASMedia ones because they don't appear on the XHC tree (nor affect the 15-port limit) then you have 18x other potential ports - 6x USB3 plus their companion 6x USB2 definitions, and another 6x USB2-only ports.
Is there any reason why you are only configuring 8x ports? Is this motherboard in a G5 case? Because perhaps ...
4) You mention a G5 and HS12. If this is a front-panel port - which may be a USB2 port only - have you checked to see what HS12 on the motherboard really is? USB2 or 3. Obviously I can't tell from here.
Other than that I am unsure what the problems now are. It sounds as though you might have everything working as you want?
No, it is not explicitly necessary. You don't even have to disable in BIOS. Just only configure the XHC controller by using the correct Device ID in the template.
By the way, questions about @RehabMan 's guide really should be asked of him, not me. He's the expert. Remember, this is only a Beginner's Guide.
Auto
XHCI Mode = Auto - The on-board USB 3.0 ports function like a 2.0 port before the OS USB 3.0 drivers load. If you reboot the OS, the onboard USB 3.0 port again functions like a 2.0 port during this reboot BIOS phase before the OS USB 3.0 drivers load.
