Your EFI folder contents are a bit of a mess. All the Drivers, Tools, BOOTx64.efi and OpenCore.efi should have the same date & time stamp, I.e. be from the same release of OpenCore.

Screenshot 2025-04-11 at 23.49.28.png Check the Date Modified column for your EFI and you will see what I mean about different dates and time stamps.

This is not the case with your EFI. You have Tools and drivers that are from different OC releases, this should never be the case. Except when using HfsPlus.efi, as that driver is downloaded separately, i.e. it is not part of the OC release.

If you are using HfsPlus.efi then you shouldn't be using OpenHfsPlus.efi at that same time. HfsPlus.efi is the better HFS+ driver and should be used when possible.

If you are not using Broadcom WiFi or another device that requires you to enable OpenCore Legacy Patcher, you do not require AMFIPass.kext, IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext or IOSkywalkFamily.kext.

You have too many USB kexts in your setup. You need to use USBMap.kext or UTBMap.kext with USBToolBox.kext.

You don't need SMCSuperIO.kext, I have a number of AMD Hacks and have never needed this kext.

DeviceProperties:

Screenshot 2025-04-12 at 00.02.35.png Highlighted entries need to be checked and unused entries removed.

You have two sets of DeviceProperties declaring your RX 6950 XT. Do you have two RX 6950 XT cards installed in your system? If not confirm which is correct and then delete the incorrect entries.

You have a DeviceProperties entry set to disable a dGPU, do you have an unsupported (Nvidia) GPU installed in your system? If not remove this entry.

You are not using the latest release of the AMD Kernel Patches. While there are 25 x patches present in your config.plist, 3 x patches are related to RTC and Aquantia fixes. So you would never be able to install and run macOS Sequoia with your current config.plist patches.

The latest AMD Kernel patches can be obtained from the Github page linked below.

you could ask where you took that EFI :P
apart joking
my EFI is calibrated for my "old" system
SSDT Bridge is not useful and also double 6950xt Device Poperties are not usuful
Kext block and also some kexts are usuful if you use a broadcom WIFi togheter OCLP app
I do not remember if kernel patches are there also for Monterey because the latest system (oldest) i use is Ventura
