If this is getting too hard, or frustrating, There is another option
I don’t often recommend the Blue cloner ( DT out of stock I believe, and unlikely to restock )
BUT if this is a “one off copy /clone” AND you have a Proxmark3 to remove the password at a later date, You might be a viable candidate for a Blue Cloner.
There are many on the market, MOST without AWID functionality, so you want to make sure your one specifies it has AWID.
If you go down that path and want to write to an xSeries ( xEM or NExT) you might want to also consider a simple modification to the Cloner.
You shouldn’t need instructions on how to use it, but here is a video of a Blue Cloner in use including Reading and writing AWID.
In the future if you want to change your AWID written implant to something the Blue Cloner cant handle, then to remove the password, refer to this “guide”.
