Macbook Pro 9,1 Stuck on Apple Logo with First Install of OCLP

I have a 15 inch mid 2012 macbook pro that I am installing OCLP on for the first time. I heard Monterey ran the best so I downloaded OCLP 2.0.1 and after updating the macbook to Catalina, I followed all directions of how to install. It went through everything and rebooted multiple times throughout. It proceeded to finally reboot and I could hear the computer talk about voice over availability options, but it was stuck on the Apple loading screen partially locked on the progress bar. It appears to be some graphical glitch. I ran through the process twice and it hung here both times. Does anyone have advice on this matter? Additionally, would Monterey still be considered the most stable and fluid for this model?
