It seems like the twist was your crazy J perm alg
(With previous scramble U2 B2 L' U2 R2 F2 R2 F2 R' U2 R D B R B2 L2 B' D' R' D2) Mehta with an even bigger twist:

Blockbuilding to HTR, 30 HTM, FMC solve

I get with Roux a much longer solution:

Code:

z                       // inspection
U R u'                  // LB square |  3h  3q  3s  3qs
U' R' U F2              // LF pair   |  4h  5q  4s  5qs
M' U' R' U r U R' U' r' // RF square | 10h 10q  9s  9qs
U R' U2 r U R' U' R     // RB pair   |  8h  9q  8s  9qs
U F R' F' R U2 R U2 r'  // CMLL      |  9h 11q  9s 11qs
M' U' M' U' M2' U' M2'  // LSE       | 11h 15q  7s  9qs

total: 45h 53q 40s 46qs

And what the heck is this @ in your notation of the solution explanation. I did not get it how you convert this to your final FMC.
Can you please give a short hint how to read this?

The solve was done white cross,
cross was yellow top, green front.

First time making an example solve, its pretty trash tho
I know this was already broken down but i wanted to test myself if i could do it.
