Mac 10.13.2 - Cannot figure Tails boot for the life of me

Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well. I'm sitting here extremely frustrated and not able to figure out how to boot Tails on a brand new laptop. I've read the DNM market buyers guide on the issue, I've tried ReFInd and Clover but this damn thing will not see Tails 3.5 iso on startup. I can't even get either of the two boot managers to start upon restarting. Thanks for any guides or help.

What steps did you follow to create the Tails boot? On a Mac, I've found that the 2 USB steps are hit and miss. The most surefire way is to forget about the 2 USB way and create the intermediate Tails with a DVD. The DVD always boots on a Mac. You just burn onto a DVD, then you create the final Tails on a USB. Once you do that, the Mac should be able to boot from the USB.

Did you copy to usb or dvd? Are you holding option while booting? What method did you use to put tails on your disk?
