Device Active error when trying to install Bazzite

Hi

I'm currently facing some issue with installing Bazzite onto my ally x, when I get to bit to start the install after making my user account and selecting the drive it comes with an error stating "device is active" then when I reset, windows is borked and I have to recover from the cloud.

I have fast boot and secure boot turned off, I have turned off bit locker on the device and held shift during shutdown and used cmd to get a 'true' shutdown as advised on other posts but non of this has worked.

Is anyone aware of something else I might be doing wrong or that could be causing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as each restore takes about an hour and I'm banging my head against a wall

TIA
