Hello, I am at a loss for what to do after this dumb mistake.
I decided that I wanted to unhack my Switch for the upcoming Pokemon release. I fired up Hekate and made a backup of my current CFW NAND and Boot 0/1, then put my original NAND backup in the restore folder.
When I went to restore the OFW NAND through Hekate, I restored the Boot 0/1 for my OFW backup but then I panicked because I thought I had transferred the wrong backup files. I wanted to be sure, so I thought that the most logical solution was exiting Hekate and checking on my sd card. In Hekate I clicked "Reboot (Normal)" which reboots the Switch in Non-RCM mode. I realized that this was dumb right after, so I held down the power button for 12 seconds to force the Switch to shut off. I checked the files on my SD Card and they were the right OFW backup files, so I panicked for nothing. When I attempted to boot back into RCM, nothing happened. I have tried multiple different jigs, I had AutoRCM enabled on my CFW, but it still does not boot into RCM. I'm at a loss for what to do; I was told that bricking really isn't possible if you have the proper backups, which I do.
Can anyone give me some insight on how to fix this?
Thanks.

You still have to find someway to enter RCM and inject hekate to restore your NAND backup. Keep trying with the jigs.

Thank you, I am trying everything I can but nothing seems to let me get into RCM. I feel like I am missing a step or something...

Try to press the power button for like 30 seconds. After that power on your switch holding the volumen buttom to the right (I think is the + volume) and make sure you have your jig on the joycon rail
