"failed to load trust cache" during install of sonoma on a 2016 macbook pro

Hi, as the title says, I'm trying to install Sonoma on a 2016, 13 inch macbook pro, with a dual core i5 processor, and 4 thunderbolt 3 ports. OCLP can create the USB drive for the install just fine, but when I actually reboot to the USB and install Sonoma, I get a message that says "This copy of Install MacOs Sonoma is damaged". Looking at the logs, it says "failed to load trust cache with error code 1", and then it's followed by a dump of the command line options for the install assistant.

Things I have tried:

• Spoofing a different mac (MacBookPro16,4)
• Setting and unsetting all of the flags in the "System Integrated Protection" section

Thanks in advance
