Follow it as written.

Followed your guide as close as possible. Same error. Here's my EFI.

Your profile lacks important details. All laptop details should be placed in the main profile fields (Motherboard, CPU, Graphics). Use the signature for your desktop.

Don't forget to provide all details as per FAQ:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

Problems (eg. still didn't follow the guide):
- guide recommends AptioMemoryFix.efi
- OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi can be used (second choice), but requires EmuVariableUefi-64.efi. Your drivers64UEFI is missing EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
- your misc/preboot.log shows dual GPU. You will therefore need SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml, which I see is present in ACPI/patched. But it has no effect without the _DSM->XDSM patch (you have it, but it is disabled in your config.plist... as one might expect, disabled patches have no effect).
- you are not using the recommended RehabMan Clover
- BrcmFirmwareData.kext not recommended in the guide (plus, it does nothing without BrcmPatchRAM)

Suggestions/guesses:
- check BIOS settings
- make sure you're using a USB2 stick

Same stuff with your forked clover and usb2.

I see that others have working setups with the same configuration as me so I might try reflashing the bios but I’m not sure how far that’ll get me
