It is, I did a little research on the matter about the pci thing and added AppleSMCIO = True...that's about the only thing I modified ? maybe I sen
that's odd. I'm not sure honestly. I could have sworn I copied the correct one over. There was a github guide I was following for this originally...the only thing I can think of is that I put the wrong one on my USB...man I feel like an idiot. I'm about to try the CORRECT EFI now.

You had said 3 days ago you were using the EFI attached to post #3 above. I probably should have checked if that was true. This is why I tell people never to mix together different guides from multiple places on the internet. Leads to too much confusion.

Just copy over the complete EFI. That means you are using a different config.plist without the IntelMausi kext key.

I really need to thank you. I apologize if it's been a struggle and I've been a pain to deal with but really thank you. It's working just fine now. Currently installing.

You'll want to use a newer OpenCore version, ideally 0.7.5 which isn't out till November.
I'm not upgrading to it anytime soon. Will take a lot of time and research to work it out.
If you want to try, note that iMac 15,1 won't work anymore with Monterey. Macmini7,1 is suggested if using iGPU HD4600. You'll also want to add your 3020 to your signature so we know what CPU and graphics you are using.
Important note: Any 3020 SFF owner that uses a non-native BT chipset should expect problems with Monterey. If you use a Samsung SSD as your boot drive, expect very slow boot times. Not all people with Samsung SSDs, but many are reporting this. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ime-with-monterey-12-0-1.316614/#post-2283463
I'd suggest that everyone wait until at least the .3 point update before even attempting an upgrade. Big Sur can do most everything that Monterey can and is a stable finished product. Keep using it for now.
