stuck in reboot loop

hey yall! so i got a 2014 imac as an early christmas present and i went through the process of installing sequoia on it (i have a macbook air running sequoia and wanted to migrate from that device) but in the initial setup, everything was fine up until the root patcher. after it failed it rebooted and now every time i login and open opencore, it just immediately reboots again. after a long cycle of this it finally stopped logging in and is stuck 1/3 of the way into the login progress bar.

can anyone suggest any fixes? tips? i’m new to this as my parents didn’t do much research when buying it and i really want to make it work so that they don’t feel that they wasted their money for nothing.
