@InvaderSumo
During installation of Debian you have been asked on what kind of initrd you want, "targeted" or "generic" one, which one did you choose?
If you choosed "targeted" then you should have made sure that your wi-fi card was inserted into PC during installment in order for targeted initrd to include drivers for your card.

The safest option though is to always chose "generic" one because that one includes all drivers, targeted however does not.
 
so just to be certain. ive installed debian 12 with the gnome desktop enviroment. when i installed it. the only options it gave me to choose from were a bunch of ETHERNET cards... my laptop doesnt have an ethernet card. it only has a wifi chipset inside of my pc somewhere, havent tooken it apart yet to see what wifi card it has. so i selected the option "no ethernet ports"
 
@InvaderSumo
In order to check what you choose during setup please run the following command and share output here:

Bash: 
cat /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf | grep MODULES=
 
also i tried this and this is the info it gave me...

no clue as to why my wifi card isnt being seen.... when i was using fedora not too long ago it recognized it... would it possibly be gnome causing the issue????
 
The only thing running through my mind is you may have either a corrupt download or installation of Debian

his laptop was not connected to internet during installment so I suspect drivers were not downloaded?

@InvaderSumo
Connect to your mobile internet and run this to install firmware:
Bash: 
sudo apt install firmware-linux

Then again run and share output of lspci

that couldn't be the case, because ive downloaded kali linux, parrot os, debian 10, and every single time i always run into this problem.. im pretty sure its just the linux distros not being able to recognize my wifi card.

Kali and Parrot are based on Debian so the issue is the same

your INXI file shows from post #22

Network:
Message: No PCI device data found.
IF-ID-1: enxcacb61209565 state: unknown speed: -1 duplex: half
mac: <filter>
Bluetooth:
Device-1: Motorola PCS moto g power (2022) type: USB driver: rndis_host

Device-2: Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter type: USB driver: btusb v: 0.8
bus-ID: 1-7:3

So make sure firmware-realtek is installed sudo apt install firmware-realtek and sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi
Then reboot
