PROGRAMMING CUSTOM ARDUINO MEGA WITH ARDUINO UNO

I'm making a custom board with AtMega2560-16AU as MCU and CH340G as bootloader (schematic can be seen in the picture). I have printed the custom PCB and soldered everything in place now I want to program the bootloader.

pcb schematic

I connected my Arduino UNO with my custom board like shown in the fritzing schematic below. My custom pcb doesn't look like Arduino MEGA but the connections are the same.

connections

I go to Arduino IDE and upload the ArduinoISP example (baudrate:115200) while choosing programmer as "Arduino as ISP". step 1

And when I upload the example I get a response like this:

avrdude done. Thank you.

As far as I know so far there's no problem.

And now I move to step 2 which now requires me to switch the board to ArduinoMega from tools. And click burn bootloader. enter image description here

When I click burn bootloader I get a response like this:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Now when I clicked burn the bootloader I got a response saying invalid signature. So far I tried to:

  1. Change baudrates and try the same steps.
  2. Tried to change the avrdude.txt file. I tried to change the signature that was searched for which I couldn't change it because windows 10 wouldn't allow me even though I gave myself all the admin permissions.

So as a solution to this signature problem people have put an electrolytic capacitor that has 10nF or 10uF value between GND and RST pins of the programmer Arduino.

Also when I tried this for the first time I got a value different than "Off" for oscillator in the 2nd step.

So what should I do? Do I need to change my oscillator and try again or do I need that polarized 10uF capacitor?

Sorry for poorly formatting this post. Thank you so much for reading. Any answers would be appreciated.
