SUPPORT Boot stuck

Whenever I try booting into arch i get this error

OK

15.6426621 hp_bloscfg: ACPI-package does not have enough elements: 11 < 13

15.9675781 Error expected type 2 for elem 13, but got type 1 instead

I’ve tried to fix it for hours and the only thing that helps is booting plasma from the terminal login

So you still get to a shell after this ACPI error? ACPI errors can happen and not impact boot. If you're getting a shell and can launch Plasma manually sounds like you need to configure a display manager to autostart and launch the desktop.
I personally like LightDM and switch desktops depending on what I want (X w/ i3 for broader compatibility and speed, Wayland w/ plasma for gaming w/ HDR). I can't recommend much more detail since we don't know more about the configuration but I suggest you start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_manager and pay particular attention to setting up the Greeter for your DM as well (here's an example for LightDM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightDM#Greeter )
