You're to follow the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html but will need stock boot.img.
The firmware for your model isn't yet available so you'll be trying to dump the boot.img via Sp flash tool
Download the scatter file at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-20887.html (its the closest I can think of to your model) and unzip it.
You're to readback boot.img alone (you can readback recovery also) using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-526.html
Skip the MTK Droid tools part since you already have a scatter file.
You can get the needed values for boot from the scatter file (open with Notepad++).
physical_start_addr = Start
partition_size = Length
Upload the boot.img and recovery.img after readback

The boot.img is @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23202.html (ensure your build number matches) then root using Magisk @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html
