I have decided to try official nougat on my Moto G4 Plus. I am currently on custom Rom MM but when got the phone I installed TWRP and Super su and made a backup using twrp and full flashfire backup. If I install Nougat after going back to stock can I downgrade to MM when I want and maybe using the flashfire backup? Will I be able to relock the bootloader after going to nougat?

Once you go nougat, there's no going back as far as your bootloader is concerned. You can get back on MM via fast boot (there's a guide to do this in the guides section), but you don't want to flash a MM GPT or bootloader image after upgrading to nougat or you may hard brick it. I wouldn't risk flashing a MM flashfire backup after upgrading to nougat, personally. You'll want to do it manually with adb to make sure nothing gets funky. My advice would be to check out the several threads in the guides section to make sure you understand what you need to do to get back on marshmallow should you decide to revert.
