Cannot reinstall macOIS Sierra

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and wanted to reset my laptop. I went via disk utility as erase content settings was frozen to me. I followed apple instructions to reset format the disc and install macOS Sierra, but when I go through the install it fails every time. This has happened at least 6 /7times now.


Any advice please?

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
