Infinite reboot loop second phase mojave install

Apologies in advance if I'm not following strict guidelines of this sub, but your 'MUST READ FAQ' is to way to long. Machine specs and BIOS at bottom. clover zip linked. Any help is appreciated.

This is my 3rd hack and by far the hardest one so far. I've been able to reach the language selection/mojave installer and finish the first phase of the install ~ 5-7 mins. Once it reboots like it should the first time, I boot back onto my USB and choose 'Install Mac OS from Mojave' (Mojave is my ssd name). If I'm installing on APFS it starts at 13 mins remaining then gets to 12, waits for about 1-3 minutes and restarts. If I'm installing on HSF+ it starts at 15 mins, gets to 13 and then restarts. It will do this repeatedly and never make progress towards finishing no matter how many times i reboot.
