After the windows installation completes, the program only opens the windows install, not a mounted EFI. When I use "Restore EFI Bootloader" to open EFI, it opens the resource folder of the program, not a bootloader.

Hi. Try reinstalling Windows and getting the log (in the upper left corner, File -> Save Log) – I'll take a look.
I believe this is the log
You likely tried installing Windows using other methods before, which resulted in the EFI partition being deleted and a "Microsoft Reserved" partition being created in its place (as you can see in the screenshot). This prevents you from installing the Windows bootloader. This is also bad for macOS, as the EFI partition stores firmware updates. You need to restore the EFI partition. You can find instructions on how to do this on Google. Alternatively, you can back up macOS to an external drive and completely reformat the internal drive.
Thank you. For anyone wondering, I just deleted the root partition and reinstalled macOS and it recreated the EFI partition automatically. Program works without issue now. Much more convenient than a manual install every time. W
