Hackintool generated EDID patches, but I can't copy them

I managed to set up my Hackintosh, which runs on macOS Sonoma, after facing many challenges and fixing errors. One issue I encountered was that my monitor's resolution was 1440 x 900, but this resolution wasn't available in the macOS settings. I tried using third-party apps to manually select this resolution, but my monitor couldn't detect it and displayed the image in a stretched and distorted manner. The only available resolutions in the OS settings were 16:9, which didn't solve my problem.

A friend suggested that I could manually patch the EDID to add the desired resolution so that macOS could recognize it. I tried several solutions, but none of them worked. It became apparent that my monitor wasn't injecting any EDID at all. I then used Hackintool to add my custom resolutions, but when I generated the kexts and other files, I couldn't paste them into the required directory due to permissions restrictions.

After extensive research, I learned that disabling System Integrity Protection might allow me to paste files into those directories. However, this wasn't working in Sonoma. Is there any way to copy files into those directories, such as /System/Library/Extensions/?

Thanks for your help!
