Dell Latitude 7490 Mojave APFS error

I believe M.2 drive in SATA is supported right? I also tried upgrading BIOS from 1.6 to 1.8, but same error in both cases. Maybe I have some bootflag missing? Back in old days I had successful installation of Mavericks on AMD system. I wasn't able to boot using right kernel until I had npci=0x2000 or npci=3000 added. Could it be flags guys?

Currently I'm using  OCZ Rally 2 16Gb for macOS installation. I was following Jake Lo's Clover Guide for Dell systems, which says to use USB flash drive with 16Gb minimum storage and this is exactly what I have used. I have other 8Gb sticks for testing Linux distributions, but I don't see how the storage of installation media might affect proper drive formatting and I suppose 8Gb will be too low for Mojave to use anyway.
It is strange that I have any problems at all since I'm using exact Clover folder as a guy from another 7490 thread. He had success with Mojave install with only touchpad and Intel networking missing. Maybe he might help me figure out what's wrong. Sadly I don't have enough knowledge to understand why two machines with same config can't both have successful Mojave installation. I triple checked BIOS settings and don't have spare SSD other than Micron. I would have likely used some Sasmung EVO instead. 
Thank you for your time helping me anyway  :)
