Help for Non-headless Sleep Wake Fix Intel HD 530, Opencore 0.6.0, Big Sur

I have a z170x gaming 7 motherboard, an RX 580 8gb, and an i7-6700 which has Intel HD 530 graphics.

Since my motherboard has thunderbolt 3/USB-C; I want to buy a second hand LG UltraFine 4k monitor, so that's why I need to use the intel graphics to drive the display via the motherboard's USB-C port. (I know adapters can be bought which would allow me to use my RX 580, but I want to save money for now and avoid having to buy these adapters)

Momentarily I think I might have had sleep/wake working yesterday, but I can't remember whether the iGPU was plugged into the display or not, but I'm pretty sure it was. I got greedy and started seeing if I could mess with the sudo pmset commands to try to get PowerNap to work. This broke my sleep mode and now I don't know how to go back.

I followed the Opencore guides and various framebuffer patching things; no matter what I do, I can't get the hackintosh to wake up from sleep when the iGPU is connected to the display.

I'm also aware that Skylake and up to but not including Coffee Lake, are very troublesome with sleep wake, so I was wondering whether there's a fix. This is also why I think that it's completely unrelated to the Big Sur beta and that it's some other thing that's causing the sleep/wake to not work, like me tinkering with the sudo pmset commands.

I've tried resetting the sudo pmset settings, but I'm not sure if it restored them back to the state they were in prior to tinkering with them, or whether it restored the settings to some default macOS setting that isn't really good for hackintoshes.

Some laptop users with intel graphics manage to get their sleep/wake working perfectly, EG: on this forum https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-cause-of-sleep-wake-issues-with-hd530-hd630.295700/

but I'm not sure what the differences are for desktop users.
