You check the guide, speifically for this type of error? Perhaps the most secretive OpenCore problem solver of them all? Also, Why are you using an outdated online 'Sanity Checker' instead of OCValidate? Why OpenCore 0.6.6, Is this a pre-built EFI?

So I reset my Mac into factory settings and I didn’t want to wait for 5 hours to reinstall Monterey, so I did something which caused to get Sierra. If someone can find a way for me to get Monterey back, I’d greatly appreciate it. The computer is a 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro.
If you have a spare computer and a USB you can use gibMacOS to download macOS monterey.
