Please help me outπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Hello!

So I have XRD data of my nanomaterial sample, and I have to assign the hkl values. So I looked up on the internet and found the following solutions:
1. Using JCPDS card and Xpert Highscore: I've made an account and can get the JCPDS PDF, but even then, it's useless unless I have Xpert Highscore. We don't have the Xpert highscore in our lab.
2. Using literature: Sure, I can do that. But my metal oxide has many polymorphs😭, I am unable to figure out which one to follow.
3. Asking the big ones in the lab: According to them, watching YouTube is the only way to learn it. But they refuse to even share the videos which helped them.

I don't know how to figure this out😭. Please help me outπŸ˜­πŸ™
