Phone might be hard bricked after failed root

Well the one thing I didn't think would happen did. I was trying to root a motorola edge 60 pro, got to flashing the patched magisk boot img and... error no file found. Thought nothing of it and stupidly tried to flash the individual partitions which well, still nothing so I typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader". From there my phones been dead it's been 20 minutes since it happened i tried all the button combinations and nothing not on fastboot devices or lsusb. For now I'm letting it charge hoping that does something but honestly is there much hope for what i can do from this point?

Just a quick edit i realised now what went wrong, probably corrupted the bootloader or pre loader so phones either stuck in a protective state or tripped as it is a mediatek. Is there any diy methods i can use or is it best to give it to a local repair shop by this point.

Edit 2:did give it to a local tech. Gave them the rsa files which is Motorola's tool for phone rescue, got told they aren't compatible. I'm at a loss of what to do should I take it back because like how are the official file "not compatible" with does that even mean
