Looks to me like you are using someone else's /EFI folder which does not match your hardware.
The ACPI errors probably come from all of that junk in /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched.

If the system Disk boots from the USB Installer but then won't boot after Multibeast installation, you can simply copy and paste the EFI Folder from the USB Installer and paste it on the EFI Partition of the SSD after deleting its current EFI Folder . Once it boots you can later troubleshoot any other problems. To copy and paste the HIDDEN EFI Folder from its EFI Partition of USB Installer disk to the hidden EFI Partition of the SSD, you can download and launch Clover Configurator and click Mount EFI fro its Left Panel . You can find illustrated steps here-> #4

thanks all. I wiped out the efi folder and reinstalled with multibeast. All is working now

I incorrectly assumed when i wiped the ssd on install it was wiping all partitions.

• It will Repartition in GUID and Format in APFS (right way) or HFS+J if you Erase the ENTIRE disk NOT the Volume alone of a previously partitioned and formatted Disk.
• To CORRECTLY Erase the disk using Disk Utility both during installation and also on a running Hackintosh System disk, FIRST click View> and place [√] Show All Devices.
• Then select the entire disk [if needed by changing the Down arrow to Rightward arrow by the side of icons.]
• Then Erase giving a new name to the Disk, preferably choose APFS to format and GUID as Partition Scheme as shown in the images.
