Possible reason for your displays not working would be that you have not completed the Framebuffer patches for your IGPU. The screenshot below shows the IGPU framebuffer entries from your config.plist.View attachment 561503
Con0 has 3 x entries
Con1 & Con2 have 3 x entries each

This is a screenshot of the Framebuffer patching from a H370 MB and Coffee Lake UHD360 IGPU.

As you can see there are 6 x entries for con0, con1, con2 and con3.

Your IGPU framebuffer entries should be similar to those shown above. Not including con3 entries if they apply to your VGA connector is fine. But you shouldn't be missing entries for the other connectors.

The first post in this thread has a number of Spoiler entries, unfortunately none are an exact match to your H470 board.
Ok I made sure all the connectors I'm using have 6 entries. I didn't do any for the VGA port. Here is what I have now and it seems to work Ok on the HDMI and DP outputs. The DVI still does not work but I only need 2 DVI connections and it appears that I have that. I may tinker around some more to try and get the other ports working. Hackintool still shows the same pipe (18) for all the connectors except #4.

You sometimes have to set the DVI connectors up as DisplayPort connectors for them to work.
