Won't let me reinstall Monterey

Am using a 2017 IMac (27") 3.8 Ghz i5 with 16GB DDR4

running Monterey 12.7.4


Tried to do a reinstall using recovery mode (cmd R)


It tells me I can't do it and gives me this message

"com.apple.buildinfo.preflighterror.error21


I looked up error 21 and it does not help me.


Any suggestions?

iMac (2017 – 2020)
