I have a macos sonoma and I want to use macos ventura as it runs some things better. I have tried with usb's and many more things, I have devided my disk into 2 so I could test on the other more and so I dont loose my stuff.
MacBook Air, macOS 14.7
What are the errors that are being thrown at you?
Details matter.
Make sure you are backing up your stuff. Use Time Machine and an external drive dedicated to the process.
Then get another external drive and install macOS Ventura on that to use as an external startup drive.
Install macOS on an external storage device and use it as a startup disk - Apple Support
This will allow you to keep Sonoma intact on the Mac and boot into Ventura whenever you like/need to.

Question " I want to downgrade but errors are keep getting thrown at me "
Under the current setup, where the Internal Drive has been Partitioned into 2 Separate Drives on 1 Single Physical Drive
This would Not be a Downgrade per se but rather making a Dual Boot Setup
So please get this right.
Partition a physical disk in Disk Utility on Mac
Partitioning a disk divides it into individual sections known as containers.
However, with APFS, you shouldn’t partition your disk in most cases. Instead, create multiple APFS volumes within a single partition. With the flexible space management provided by APFS, you can even install another version of macOS. See the Apple Support article Use more than one version of macOS on a Mac.
Dual Booting two different versions is macOS is possible but I do not suggest doing this
It is going to need an Internal Drive with a Large Drive Capacity, in-order to carry both versions of macOS
Plus, all the Third Party Softwares that each version of macOS the user requires
In essence, 2 copies of each Third Party Softwares

Downgrading isn't supported by Apple.
