Hi,
I suppose I should start by saying that the cover for the microsd card slot of my pi has been ripped off, but as far as I can tell, all the pins to connect with the microsd card are still there. I modified a 3D printable case to securely hold the sd card in the right spot against the pins, and it seems to work, because on boot the RPi can read config.txt and cmdline.txt.
I've flashed RPi OS Lite to a new sandisk 64gb sd card using the official imager, and the Pi gets past the bootloader screen, but a single _ starts flashing for ~20 seconds, then the following error is shown:Then it opens the BusyBox terminal.
I have previously had some small success booting from USB, but over time, this seems to have gotten more finicky, and less likely to work. I thought using a microsd card again could keep it booting reliably. The partuuid is correct for rootfs, I checked using on my Linux computer.
Edit: I have used two different SD cards, one of them freshly bought and only written with RPi OS Lite
I'm not sure how to fix this and I was hoping someone else would know how to fix this (if possible).

Thanks, and have a nice day!
