Bootloaded Flashing of nvidia Jetson Orin NX 8gb and seeed studio a603 carrier board

I have been working with the Orin NX 8gb module and the seeed studio a603 carrier board. I have had serious issues with getting the qspi to include the included usb port drivers for this board. What I am trying to do is boot from an external usb ssd. I know it would be best to get an nvme drive to avoid these issues but my project has run out of cash and this is what I have on hand. I currently am able to get the system to boot into jetpack 6.2 using some trickery. I start the boot with the drive attached to the micro usb 2.0 management port (the one used for recovery communication) once direct boot has begun, I very quickly unplug the drive mid boot and plug it into the usb 3.0 port. The drive is properly detected and the system boots fine. The issue is caused (im assuming) by the USB drivers that seeedstudio provides not correctly flashing to the qspi so they are not accessed by the bootloader therefore causing direct boot to be enabled, then pulling them from the drive, initializing the boot, switching to the usb 3.0 hub, searching for the partition in the boot sequence, once I swap the drive to the hub, finding the partition and then booting okay. This could be an incorrect understanding, this is my first time working with Jetsons. I have followed this wiki A603 Carrier Board | Seeed Studio Wiki closely. Only changing the flash to sda1 instead of nvme, and external flash. This research project is due in 2 days and I could really use some help figuring out why the usb drivers are not being properly flashed to the qspi. I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this matter and my word dump. Thank you in advance.
