Stuck with black screen on iMac 14,2 (Late 2013) install (Safe Mode Works however)

Hey everyone --

I installed OCLP on an iMac 14,2 (Late 2013) and proceeded to install Sonoma 14.4.1

this 27" iMac has a Nividia GeForce GTX 780M

Install was successful but once I booted up and applied the post-install patches to enable wifi, etc., I am getting a black screen AFTER the macOS login screen.

SAFE mode works fine and I'm able to login and access the Patcher app, etc.

I have already tried Installing the Kernel Debug Kit as suggested and then running the patches again

I did notice the root patches are giving me these errors in the log:
- Unable to build new kernel cache
- Reason for Patch Failure (71)
- No variant specified, failing back to release
- Error domain=KMErrorDomain Code=71 "....com.wdc.driver.USB-64HP"...."

​

Would love anyone's help. Thank you.
