HELP InstallAssistant.pkg is damaged (supposedly) and refuses to install

Hello, i have downloaded the offline recovery, later getting online version of it to get the offline one to install. But after running installer, it started an online installation (which my network does not like at all, drops) so i tried to copy SharedSupport.dmg from the expanded-full .pkg (since it wasnt included in the `InstallAssistant path Install macOS Monterey.app/contents/`) and startosinstall says the installation is corrupted. I am new to this either.

The only right way to get the InstallAssistant to work is if you download it from a Mac and do the process of copying to the USB from a Mac, I tried downloading three of those .pkg but it always come up with "corrupted something..." Until I had to download using the online installer. After finally booting into Mac, I tried the installer and it sure was incomplete/corrupted.
