I'm having some sort of dirty bit error in my fat32 uefi partition but I can't read the log because instantly get moved to SDDM.

Check folder /var/log/. If you're running syslog-ng which was default in late 2024 ISOs then you're out of luck cos' upstream changed the configuration and disabled useful logs... If you're running recent ISO from around this year, then metalog should be installed, but anyway I recommend looking at:
- for metalog /var/log/everything/current
- for syslog-ng /var/log/everything.log
