MAC OS SONOMA ON DELL OPTIPLEX 5050 6TH GEN

It works!! Kinda...

Ive spent the last few weeks trying to get my Dell Optiplex (6th gen I5, Integrated Graphics) and as it's my first attempt I got it wrong so many times lol. Ive managed to sort most out now, First issue was that it wouldn't boot without the USB drive, I was told when trying to copy me EFI folder that I didn't have enough storage on my EFI partition. I fixed this simply by partitioning my boot drive so now it has like a 600MB partition which I managed to copy the EFI folder to. Next issue is that I have no wifi or bluetooth, tried fixing it with a cheap wifi and bluetooth card before reading how fussy Mac OS is and that it would not work, returned the wifi card, and I have now bought a 2014 Mac mini native wifi and bluetooth card with a PCIE adapter, just waiting for the adapter to arrive then ill say whether it just works or not. Im still stuck with two issues though;

  1. When the computer goes to sleep the display does not come back on, I fixed this with an app called Amphetamine which stops the computer from sleeping. I know there's probably a way to fix it and if anyone would be willing to help me understand how to do that then I would be appreciated, but I can't really be bothered to work it out by myself when the app works well enough and there's no chance of bricking the whole computer lol.
  2. I am able to sign into my Apple ID perfectly fine, iMessage works etc, However, Apple Music only plays certain songs, some it plats fine, and others it just gets stuck as 0:00 on the bar, and refuses to play again I don't have the will power to try and work out why this is and fix it as I've already spent so much time trying to make this work, but if anyone has any ideas then that would also be appreciated.

If anyone has a relatively easy fix for the above two then it would be greatly appreciated, but no worries if not, Thanks.
