Please bear with me. 
I was about to upgrade from Magisk 19.4 to 20 and I tapped on "Install to inactive slot (after OTA)" instead of the recommended option "Direct install), then clicked yes without reading because I though I tapped the correct option... and after that, without rebooting, I tapped the Direct install option and rebooted. (Yup, I effed up that whole part.)
Then, when booting up the phone got stuck in fastboot.
I followed @Arden144's steps to install twrp and I was able to boot into twrp and flash magisk.
If I go to power options and tap on reboot to OS, it boots fine and I have Magisk 20. My modules are still there and everything seems fine. Wi-Fi, fingerprint sensor and SafetyNet are fine.
BUT! Now, for my actual problem:
Whenever I use advanced reboot to go to the recovery, go to recovery through Magisk Manager, press Volume Down + Power to boot into recovery or even select "Recovery" in TWRP's power menu, the phone just goes to fasboot and I can't enter the recovery unless I "fastboot flash" a recovery.
Thankfully if I select "Start", the phone starts fine. Previously it just looped back to the fastboot but seems that reflashing twrp at least fixed that.
But yeah, I can't enter TWRP without a computer to fastboot, which sucks.
What can I do? Flashing twrp doesn't seem to stick.
Thank you for any advice you can give me!
