I think the issue might be that I created my Installation USB on Windows using Rufus and that it doesn't create the EFI/GUID Partition Table on the USB drive. So, I did copy over the EFI folder from the USB it's not the hidden one (because there isn't one).
That being said, I can boot into Ventura (via USB) and am trying to recreate the USB drive using the MacOS instructions so I can get the hidden EFI folder. However, my Ventura install keeps rebooting after about 10-15 minutes (not enough time to download the installer).
