USB not booting, just showing macOS.dmg (name of usb stick) apple logo and bar starts then reboots

I had Big Sur on my machine, I used the EXACT same files and methods to get it installed and it worked earlier.. I attempted a Monterey update and it failed so put the same USB stick in and now it won’t load. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I solved it by using Catalina base system dmg
