I'm seeking some guidance on recovering from my accidental deletion of files from
/usr/standalone/firmware
on my M2 MacBook running Ventura 13.0.
The removal was by an app called [Sonoma Cache Cleaner](https://www.northernsoftworks.com/sequoiacachecleaner.html)
After rebooting, none of my apps worked normally:
- some wouldn't open
- Firefox was able to run briefly but crashes promptly
- Terminal.app crashed at one point during my recovery efforts
I was able to recover the lost files with [Disk Drill](https://www.cleverfiles.com)
Files recovered are mostly **.img4** files. As well as a kernelcache (System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcahes/kernelcache)
I have tried various methods to copy the recovered files to */usr/standalone/firmware*
I'm aware that modifiying System files is risky.
I disabled SIP with: csrutil authenticated-root disable

**Update**
Just tried a reinstall with SIP disabled.
It canceled at 8 mins left with this message:
> An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again
