Hope your all good and ask anything you need. Heres how you solve it: Reboot to Internet Recovery, not the onboard recovery partition. Then just click install Mac OS and you should be good to go. Theres also a bug in the macOS installer thats causing the APFS preboot volume error when you reinstall macOS to an APFS volume where youve only quick-erased the system partition (instead of creating a blank APFS container). The fix is your removing the APFS system which is what is confusing the drive which for some reason apple can't figure out them self.
