I've got the update downloaded into the correct folder but when I use the "choose update package" it gives me the option to locate with Google Drive or Flipboard!! Any idea how this has happened and how to fix it?

Excuse me, how do I know if I use the global, china or eu rom? Thanks in advance
Check either your model number or the stock ROM currently on your device
You can see both of these by going to settings > about phone > all specs
The model number is listed there, as is the current ROM
My MIUI version, for example, is
MIUI global
12.0.2Stable
12.0.2.0(QJOEUXM)

So I have the Global EU variant.
There are also Global, Chinese and Russian ROMs - could be others for all I know

My model number is M2003J15SG - this is the EU 4/128gb variant with NFC
The different models are each compatible with particular firmware variants

Just a guess, but I think it uses whichever file explorer is set as your default (so when I go to "choose update package" it defaults to the MIUI file explorer and gives me options of internal or external storage)
Might you have uninstalled this, so it's now giving you the option of either of those apps to find your update package? Suggest you install a basic file explorer (CX or something) and do the same thing again, then opt to use that to browse to and select the update package
Or just leave it in the correct folder on your phone (is it downloaded_rom or something like that?)

i've got the Updater finding the downloaded Miui 12 file but now it won't install because it can't verify the Update. It's the correct EU version.

Are you absolutely sure you shouldn't be updating with one of the other update ROMs? Maybe the global one?
If you're definitely coming from the EU Global MIUI 11, try downloading the MIUI 12 update again. Occasionally updates corrupt while downloading - guessing the installer runs a hash check before installing. Always possible that's the problem
If this doesn't help and noone else comes up with a solution, just sit tight - you'll likely get the correct update served to you sometime soon
