Sorry all, so here is everything i have done.
I followed this:

I have the Al-Azif’s Easy PS4 Hosting Tool installed and successfully working on a windows 10 VM. I used the user guide, on the PS4 to launch the web browser. I then Have three options. I can't remember one of them, but the others are specter and something on the lines of "Vertex". Apologies, i don't have the console in front of me to the exact name. I used Specter originally. Then i sent over the payload from this link to allow web browser access without logging in to PSN. That worked.

After that, i sent over a payload to load debug settings (googled and grabbed it "full debug settings PS4". But i was getting errors loading ANY debug settings, so i reset my PS4. - I then went through the process again as above, except, i didn't load the Debug settings payload. Now i have view the debug settings without issue; but the PS4 doesn't detect when i plug in any USB flash drive or external HDD. Both have been formatted to FAT32 and EXFAT. Both drives only had one partition on them and the PKG file was in the root of the drive.
The front usb ports work fine because when i reset my PS4 and go through the initial setup, it asks me to plug the controller in via cable and continue, which sees the controller and charges it.
SO i am slightly puzzled.
If someone could help with either USB or FTP the PKG files over that would be great.
