Secure boot is auto magically disabled when you turn on legacy as needed in post 1
all other options are fine in bios check the photo in previous posts to confirm

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *120.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1

You should disable secure boot before enabling legacy. Make sure you keep UEFI enabled.

You should double check that EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi exists on disk0s1.

the options I done in order are.. one turn usb mode to auto to allow it to be usb 2.0 ports on startup.
second disabled secure boot. third enabled legacy support pressed 10 to save and restart.

cannot disabled UEFI

I do have in the boot folder BOOTX64.

cannot disabled wifi

Again: You should double check that EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi exists on disk0s1.

I have checked and it does exist. Im guessing this is a confusing one XD

It is clear from that photo that you did not install Clover correctly.
It appears you did a legacy install instead of "UEFI"...
Recommend you start over and follow the guide as written... and carefully.

Well that would explain it. Weird that it still wouldn't boot even though legacy is enabled on my bios. thank you will re install

Legacy can work but this guide uses UEFI.
Even legacy requires a very specific setup/selections within the Clover installer.

like a ass I think I just figured out why it wasn't working. it is set up for UEFI but interestingly I somehow haven't managed to format the EFI partition on my hard rive as fat32 Im Pretty sure that might be the issue XD.

EFI is formatted as FAT32 automatically when you use Disk Utility to partition the disk.
