I tried booting with the iso from nixos.org but that did not work :( confirmed that the flash drive works by flashing linux Mint but I am dumfounded about what I did wrong... :(
Maybe reading through this thread will be helpful: https://community.frame.work/t/nixos-on-the-framework-laptop-16/46743/9

Pinned. I am in the process of working with the NixOS community right now (literally in chat in another tab) for a community support program.
Soon, once we get everything dialed in, you will see NixOS recommendations in the nearish future.

Unfortunately a lot of the discussions there are about config settings not failing to boot, I'm going to try the gnome ide instead of plasma and then finally the minimal iso to see if maybe it was just a corrupt download

Did you try disabling secure boot in your UEFI settings?

I had disabled the secure boot but i had moved on to trying to update the bios without actually trying to flash nixos again, went back and it works with secure boot disabled, good catch
