Try this EFI Folder, you will need to inject your own values for iCloud, Msg/F-Time, App Store etc, etc to be abled to function. Good luck.

My USB keyboard and mouse not working when using thisefi, how do I install it ?

UPDATE : Without usb and keyboard I let it load and after 1 minutes it gives prohibited sign from Boot macOS Install from Install macOS Catalina.

Remove the USBPort.kext from the kexts folder and replace it with the InjectAll.kext and reboot see if that works.

It loaded and reached second stage till 10 minutes remaining and then got stuck. No blinking of light in chassis either.

I don't know why this is not working for you as others with Gigabyte z390 has found success with the EFI Folder I posted. Try this Folder, if this does not work, you need to carefully check that your BIOS settings are correct to install OS X.
