Yes, forever ago but using OpenCore. Did you try updating the version of Clover? ModMike's EFIs haven't been updated for quite a while and that might do it. If not there is a way to bypass the bios "Safe Mode" screen listed in one of the posts I linked in the search.
You can try this version uploaded by @iDrakus if you want to stay with Clover or you can try OC but you will need to add serial numbers, UUID etc.

I’m not sure there is a better guide than below. FYI, the EFI folder I uploaded using OpenCore just neds to be copied and pasted in place of the Clover version. You can just rename the clover version on your usb boot drive to EFIclover and it won’t be recognized and should boot the OC version instead. Use your USB drive to test any changes first before you copy anything to,your hard drive, safer.
Great, there is a program by CorpNewt called GenSMBIOS you can search for on the web and download. It's a terminal driven program that makes updating the serial numbers easy. OpenCore Configurator tends to be buggy...try not to use or depend on it.
wow that is easy! lol thank you. I'm going to do a fresh installation of Catalina and will copy your OC EFI. I was having random reboot issue with clover too. I'm highly optimistic OC will run smoothly.
The post you are replying too was posted in May of 2019, doubt you will get a reply from him, maybe. What happened is when you added that USB port (which was an internal header right?) it broke however you had USB configured on your machine. You don’t mention if you are using OC or Clover but the fix is fairly similar for both, you will need to remap your USB ports to take into account the new connection to the power supply and still keep the total of ports under 15.
Better to post there, not here. You can't have more than 15 total ports if you want sleep working and or have other issues like data loss.
