Bricked oneplus 8 appearing on pc as 8 pro

so im pretty new to roming and rooting phones but technically savvy enough to understand what to do and how to fix my mistakes but ive hit a wall with this one. i was installing a carbon rom for my phone and never noticed i chose the oneplus 8 pro version instead of the regular op8 file. the msm application wont connect to my device properly and when it appears to it always loses connection or gives me an error. All i want is to use oxygen os 11 and no longer be locked to t mobiles firmware.
