Help Please! NonStop Bootlooping... Please and thanks!

I did converted my LS to a US and now back to LS and it went really well at first. Everything seemed to be working just as well as it was before the conversion and root, but now with root and recovery etc so needless to say I was thrilled. However now I have done something that has my phone stuck in Bootloop hell. The last thing I did when it was working was try and use TWRP to install a Zip of some apps and data I saved before the conversion. This pretty much immediately errored out and said failed. Thinking it didnt do anything at all and not wanting any remnants to screw up anything I selected the option to clear the cache and dalvik and rebooted. That was the end of my V30. Since then I cannot get back to TWRP, I cant boot all the way, I cant do much of anything...

Short Version: I am currently stuck on the Sprint LTE Plus Screen and cannot get the device to boot past here. I need to know if I should (or even can) use LGUP to flash my way out of this issue...

Here is what I have going for me right now:

I can press and hold the Volume Down Button and Power Button for 10 Seconds and the Phone will restarts...

1st I get a very quick LG V30+ ThinQ screen

This is followed by about 10 secs of that Lock the Bootloader Warning Screen that i have had since my switch to LS998

Then the LG V30+ThinQ screen comes up again which is weirdly followed by a very slightly different LG V30 ThinQ screen with an almost unnoticeable font size change for the text of ThinQ (so slight it took like 15 of these loops before I even noticed a difference)

Then its the normal Sprint Boot Screen

And Lastly, the one I am stuck on, which is the second sprint boot screen that say LTE PLUS| More Spectrum Betteer network etc.

What can I still do/access:

If I plug the phone into my computer and try and access it through ADB, i can ping it with the "devices" command, however its listed as unauthorized (FML of course it is)

If I am plugged into my computer and hold down the Volume Down button I can get to the Fastboot Screen. I can send commands to the phone through Fastboot which I have tried some but I dont really know what commands i should try to send. I did some variations of "fastboot boot recovery" and thosedidnt work.

I have managed to get to an MEID IMEI screen, no idea how i got there, but only option is press power key to reboot.

I have made it to the LG FACTORY RESET page, but havent done one out of fear that it would relock my bootloader or unroot and lock me completely out.

I can also get LGUP to recognize my phone (only when its not in fastboot mode. In fastboot mode all options in LGUP are greyed out)

When connected to LGUP at the top of the program it says LGUP[LG-LS998] Port CO Version US99821a Progress Standby. Its default set to refurbish and shows a BIN file with a checkmark in front of it.

Starting LGUP once the phone is already at the LTE PLUS screen - Dialog pops up saying Model: Unknown Com Port: Com 15. It then errors out and wont load the program.

I still have the Sprint 21aupdate File from when I did the reflash through TWRP, as well as some backups I moved to my computer, but all of those were unfortunately from before I converted back to LS from the US variant. I was thinking I could flash the Sprint file or maybe just the Boot part of that file or something like that through LGUP to fix this issue. But before i flash something that incompatible I was hoping someone could confirm that was my only option first. (hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to fix this soon. I was going to try and remedy this myself but after reading one of the other threads that lists the files that can and CANT be flashed from diff Variants I thought it better to be phoneless for now than flash something wrong and perma brick my device)

*** just noticed something kinda weird** I was in fastboot and tethered to my computer. I unplugged the device and it booted back to a LGv30 THinQ screen again, however in the very top right corner there was super tiny text that said "any key to shutdown" (the word "press" was actually cut off the screen). I pressed a volume key and it shut down, which is nice since it wouldnt shut down any other way, but still hasnt fixed the issue.

Thanks in advance for whatever advice or help you can provide.
