OK, now I understand a bit better (but try to avoid editing posts that are already answered to , to avoid misunderstanding
Since you cant get it to boot an OS at all, I'd start with a bootable installer USB with an OS supported in all cases : El Capitan.
DosDude is a patched install , thus I wouldnt recommend to start with this .
An NVME drive is only bootable with the BootROM version that comes with a native Mojave install.
Boot from a El Capitan USB installer made with createinstallmedia and install El Capitan on a clean internal SATA drive.
Once your MP is up and running fine, you can go from there and see what's the scenario.
El Capitan official installer:
Download and install current or previous versions of the Mac operating system on compatible Mac computers.

EDIT: for createinstallmedia:
Use an external drive or secondary volume as a startup disk from which to install macOS.
