THIS IS NOT YOUR HELPDESK, WE HAVE FORUMS FOR A REASON. Please only file an issue here for code-related problems. This is not an issue system for resolving issues with using the compiled binaries, or discussing functionality issues with Catalina on your unsupported machine.

Does Startup Manager (hold the option key at boot) see apfs partitions? If so, but it does not show Recovery partition, then maybe you can mount the Recovery partition in the Finder and use the bless command to bless the included boot.efi file.

sudo diskutil mount Recovery
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Recovery*/*-* --file /Volumes/Recovery*/*-*/boot.efi

Then maybe it can show up in Startup Manager?

Otherwise you can try a boot loader like RefindPlus. https://github.com/dakanji/RefindPlus

Each macOS installation has their own recovery partition. Change the mount command to a specific disk if there's more than one Recovery partition:

sudo diskutil mount disk3s3
