Then it might not be possible to OEM Unlock. Google has taken a heavy stance on rooted devices. disabling things like RCS and other popular features on devices to the point where OEM is permanently disabled by the manufacturer.

Have you reached out to Motorola support to see if they offer some sort of token, like OnePlus used to, that has to be requested to OEM unlock the boitloader? They might have completely disabled the ability to do so and that is becoming more and more common.
