There's no OS on the phone and I can't get it to be seen on Windows or Linux even with the necessary drivers installed. I have TWRP on the phone but I can't seem to get anything recognised by anything, no OTG USB adapters work neither. ADB Sideload doesn't seem to work neither. Would somebody be able to help or have any ideas?

If the phone turns on at all but isn't detected by the PC then that is always a driver issue. Make sure to install the correct adb, fastboot and MSM ones, here is a nice guide on how to do it.
MSM might be what you need if your device still powers on, here is a small guide to it and this is a bigger, more extensive one. I've used the 2nd one myself on my 8P and it worked like a charm.

The PC still fails to recognise the Phone, even after all the drivers have been installed and all applications have been installed and used too. The MsmDownloadTool fails to detect my phone too.If the phone turns on at all but isn't detected by the PC then that is always a driver issue.

Then it's either fully dead or the drivers aren't installed properly. But since you said you have TWRP I'm guessing the phone does turn on ... in which case we're back to drivers.
Check your device manager for yellow exclamation marks and double check that all the drivers are installed. Other than that I really don't know
It's good to know that there's still hope for the phone, I'll try again tomorrow on another PC and let you know how it goes. Thank you for your time and help so far.Then it's either fully dead or the drivers aren't installed properly.

Another thing to try is a different USB port (my front left one refuses to do adb commands while the front right one is fine lol) or a different cable. Some say don't use a USB 3 port, but I've had it working even with a USB 3 hub. So try every port/cable I guess.
Good luck

1The other PC hasn't worked either. I might eventually just replace the USB-C port at some point and try again but I put the phone away for now.
Thank you very much for the help and your time.
