Installed High Sierra on my internal Samsung 970 Evo NVME M.2 & it won't show up?

I have not built anything in Multibeast and would like someone to tell me the correct things to check for my build. I also don't have any internet connected at the moment but can hook up to ethernet after this installation.

UEFI boot mode would be best, you will have to check your manual for audio and network card

Thanks so much, So nothing for the USB section? And my network says Intel GbE LAN chip
 
I don't have these options below? Also I have an i3 so does that matter at all for this System Definition: iMac 18,2?

USB: Increase Max Port Limit 200 Series
Graphics: Nvidia Graphics Fixup

These pics are what I have

Ok so I pulled out the USB stick before I restarted the computer after I did the Multibeast build. It didn't work again and this is what I see. I also restarted it and chose the other option and it didn't work.
Earlier when I try to erase the SSD drive, it says APFS are my only options when I erase it, does that effect anything?
Everybody elses seem to have the ability to partition their drives but mine does not give me that option anymore. Im wondering if it can't read it since it is the new APFS only?

Should I try and install Mojave, maybe that will work easier?

I will try that today but if that doesn't work do you think I should try to fresh install Mojave? I still didn't get an answer from anyone about why when I try to format the main SSD the only options are APFS? What happen to the Mac OS journaled and Guid Partition? Did that go away from apple?

if you boot with your usb and it shows the macos partition and you can then boot from that to the desktop with no issues...

then when you reach the desktop, mount the efi partition from the usb drive and copy the efi folder to your desktop

remove usb stick from computer

mount efi partition on hard drive

delete efi folder from hard drive

copy efi folder from desktop to efi on hard drive

then reboot

you can use clover configurator or efi mounter to mount the efi
