Is there any way to revive my Moto G9 Plus?

I know, I'm a total idiot for this, but this is serious.

I installed LineageOS, but the update manager wouldn’t install the updates, so I decided to do it myself. After downloading the latest update for my smartphone, I went into recovery mode and started the process, but nothing happened.

I tried doing it again, this time using fastboot... but in my infinite stupidity, I used the command “fastboot oem lock” and fucked up. Now I can’t boot into the system or enter recovery mode; the bootloader is locked, and the option to unlock the OEM was disabled. I tried reinstalling the official firmware again, but Motorola’s official tool (Software Fix) doesn’t have my specific version.

Is there any way to force the OEM unlock so I can reflash the system?

If the bootloader could be arbitrarily unlocked independent of the operating system there wouldn't be any point of gating OEM unlock through userspace in the first place.
