[Solved] Can’t get back in after attempting to install Sonoma from Monterey

Update.

Took the advice from @RehabMan and got into Open Core. After 6,5hrs straight following the guide and carefully picking the right choices along the way I see light!

There are som remnants of Clover from the target SSD but somehow OC managed to override it. Seeing some corrupted text and a clover logo.

But holding spacebare and quickly picking the right option it somehow took me out of darkness to a recovery mode and could proceed to install on target drive.

First time I didnt pay attention to the restart so had to redo it and then choose macOS installer on the OC menu.

And tadaaa! With some noise from Clover on the way it took me all the way after a few restarts i missed that took it into the wrong boot.

Now i gotta find out why i cant log into iCloud. But this along with wifi and other issues i wil figure out from the troubleshooting pages.

Thank you for all the help @RehabMan and @pilgrim

Im sorry i mean thank you @Feartech!!!
Don't know why I mixed with rehabman, probably from having hundreds of tabs and forums with his name open and close the last two days and nights ^^
Shame Rehabman isn't around any more

now could be a good time to backup your working EFI on a USB stick for emergencies :)
