@bluewavemaui, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard, CPU and Graphics Card).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Thanks - I'm not clear about using Clover and entering boot args...do I make a backup of Sierra from my Macbook to the USB Drive, then enter my drive and make all edits on the USB in the Macbook, than essential restore it to the Hackintosh?

Your SSD is not initialized. Click on the Samsung SSD and then click on "First Aid" menu and see if it gets initialized to let you do the next steps.|

I got Sierra up and running, internet and able to restart and boot to OSX...

Now I need to edit some kexts to get my Radeon Sapphire 480 Nitro working...

Maybe a dumb question, but how do I edit a kext , I know the part about putting it in the kext wizard after I edit, what do you use to change the kext itself?

What sort of editing you are planning to do? If you are contemplating modifying the contents of the Kext, you are likely to get better help and expert guidance in the Post Installation >Graphics> AMD Graphics Card section https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/radeon-compatibility-guide-ati-amd-graphics-cards.171291/

It may be a good idea there to explain your current problems or perceived lack of expected performance from your installed Graphics card as the symptom along with any screen shots to make the point clearer.

In this section most of those answering questions want to help in the basic or "vanilla" installation.For all the Post-install customization with each component like the Graphics, Audio, networking etc , you are better off posting questions in the subsections once the system is stable enough to boot and perform common tasks after installation.
