MBP late 2011 boot without USB but none of the troubleshooting options fix my issue.

I followed Mr. Machintosh's guide on youtube "How to Install Ventura on Unsupported Macs" which was extremely helpful.

Everything seems to be working fine except every time I attempt to build and install OCLP on my internal drive, the EFI boot doesn't show up in the boot picker options unless the USB is plugged in. I've attempted to install it multiple times with the USB ejected, completely removed, ect. but nothing seems to work.

I did attempt this guide here: Moving OpenCore from USB to macOS Drive -- but I don't think I did it correctly and some of the information went over my head. I wasn't sure how to "wipe everything on the EFI partition and replace it with the one found on your USB".

The automatic install prompt shows up everytime I boot up from the USB and I've done the post install root patching.

Not sure what else to try. Please help!
