Question Flash U.S. rom onto a U.S. phone that's running the Indian firmware for the pro variant.

Kay, backstory. I bricked my phone, and MSM for the Global didn't work. I used the op9 pro indian MSM, and that worked, so now I'm with the incorrect firmware. OTA won't work, for whatever reason, so what should I do? No bootloader unlocking, not doing that stuff again

You can try fastboot image. You can find one around here. Otherwise, root, download full zip via OOS Updater and do a local update.
Twrp is also working for our device now, at least mostly.

Yes, sorry about the late reply, here:

Global/US unbricking guide.

Global/US OnePlus 9 Unbricking Guide Tested and used on a LE2115 variant device. YOU SHOULDN'T USE THIS GUIDE UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOUR PHONE IS BRICKED. PLEASE TRY POWER COMBOS FIRST! THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES, AND THIS SHOULD BE A LAST...

Okay so I was finally able to flash back to the tmobile firmware using msm tool

I'm testing everything out now but it seems fine still had to trick it into thinking it was the IN variant.

How exactly did you trick it?

How exactly did you trick it?

You download the msm tool you need and oppo_decrypt to extract the .ops file. Then there will be a file created called settings.xml and you just need to edit that file and add one line to the bottom in-between <SupportMultiTarget> , run oppo tool again to put it one big .ops file, So more so not trick it but just add support to for the IN model. Until I can figure out how to make it change on the actually device this is the best I can come up with. This is only if you are having trouble using your original msm tool and having to use the Indian Pro version. Its solved all my issues.
