Can't Install Catalina on GA-Z170X-G5 i7700K

Can't Install Catalina on GA-Z170X-G5 i7700K

Hardware:

  • CPU: i7700K
  • GPU: RX 5700 XT
  • RAM: 32GB G.Skill
  • Motherboard Model: GA-Z170X-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.1) with F22f BIOS
  • What guide/tool followed: Vanilla Install Hackintosh Subbreddit (https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/)
  • What part I got an issue with: Currently I boot from USB, screen displays as normal for BIOS and Verbose Output, once it boots macOS Installer via USB the screen is tinted pink. Apart from the pink tint and stretch of screen, everything seems to be working fine. I format my M2 SSD and call it 'Macintosh HD'. I then Install macOS Catalina to Macintosh HD. It installs, does the first re-boot which I force it to boot via USB and then boot macOS Installer from Macintosh HD. It still launches with a purple screen but runs through macOS Install, it then does a 2nd re-boot and I follow the same procedure booting from USB then using that to launch macOS on Macintosh HD, it then boots a blank purple screen with a cursor in the top left which I can move but the system does nothing, it stays on this for 10 Mins and then turns itself off, there is no indication that anything is happening. I've looked through my verbose boot sequence and can't figure it out. I've added 'EmuVariableUefi-64.efi' to my USB EFI Drivers as I have had to use that in the past with a High Sierra Build and I thought it may be a NVRAM Issue, no success. I'm stuck and hoping someone can lend some advise please.
  • What files/config I am using: This is my EFI Folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9rx911oz6pljmck/EFI-Current.zip?dl=0
  • Extra Info: These are the verbose outputs during boot from the USB:
    **Sorry about the blurriness of the first screen grab, all the others are good**
