Is your seed even a BIP39 seed?
If you generated it using Electrum it is most likely is an Electrum seed.
When you restore your wallet in Electrum you probably go through "Standard wallet" -> "I already have a seed". When entering the seed, do you change anything in the "Options" or do you leave it on the default "Electrum" seed type.
And on a different note: You do not actually have to patch Sparrow wallet. Under "File" -> "Preferences" -> "General" -> Turn off "Validate derivations"
If you have a simple Electrum wallet file then it actually makes things pretty easy.
- In Sparrow Wallet go to "File" -> "Import Wallet..."
- Next to "Electrum" click "Import File..."
- Locate the Electrum wallet file (usually in ~/.electrum/wallets/)
- You are asked to name the wallet. Click "Create Wallet".
- Optionally set a password
- Now you have imported the wallet and your SegWit Coins should appear.
- Switch to the "Settings" tab
- Change "Script Type" to "Taproot (P2TR)"
- When asked whether to clear the keystores, select "No"
- Click "Apply"
- Now you should see your "lost" Taproot coins, ready to be spent.

You're a gem Filiprogrammer. I don't know how many hours it would have taken me to figure that out. Bitcoin is breaking out of 70k just for you!
