This is a collection of files that worked for my setup. The credit for these files go to the resource owners used over the time it took to compile something that worked. The config.plist was updated using ProperTree and following the Ice Lake Documentation provided by Dortania (Thanks a ton!)
Mostly this area is for me so that I have documentation and access. your performance and setup may not work
Some issues:
Killer Wi-Fi AX1650 - did not work (Changed to Fenvi FV-T919 then to DW1830)- Broadcom M.2 NGFF WiFi Wireless Card BCM94360NG (All working correctly, unlock with apple watch, Apple KB & Mouse)
Hynix 1Tb NVMe SSD did not work (Changed to 970 Evo Plus)Bluetooth not working properly (Not much time spent in troubleshooting)

Update 12/01/2021 I purchased from ebay the M.2 NGFF Card "Broadcom M.2 NGFF BCM94360NG WiFi+Bluetooth" which installed in place of the Killer AX1650 I had. You can find that here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194178222777?hash=item2d35ec8ab9:g:UzIAAOSwKZxfDru0
For the sleep issues, I installed a tool called "Amphetamine" which is free (But I donated $20). This allows the monitors to sleep. Since I replicate data from this system overnight to a different system, I do not let the system fully sleep. I also got the chime to work so it all looks and sound just like my old 2012 Mac Pro when it boots up.
Update 11/16/2021: Installed Broadcom M.2 NGFF WiFi Wireless Card BCM94360NG Dual Band Network adapter BT4.0 purchased from ebay and now all wireless and bluetooth abilities work perfectly. Installed right where the Killer AX1650 and DW1830 was. removed the Fenvi FV-T919 from PCI Slot.
