The basic problem is extracting the boot image so that you can Magisk it.
If you have a Firehose loader, you can pull it directly.
If you don't you have to wait until an update appears so that you can extract the boot image.
Have you got EDL working? It's probably the qualcomm/factory/sdm662 one.
If you have EDL working and are concerned that you might have to rollback, you can dump the whole flash.
OTOH, it's probably better to just fix what's wrong with the new update.

I think my post #4 in this thread got delayed because it needed "moderator approval".
But in it i installed the linux EDL and got the output about the loader. It does seem like its sdm662.
Could i just use these instructions to pull the boot image, patch with magisk and flash on my current version?
Code:
EDL mode
cd ..
adb reboot edl # reboot to edl
# ./edl/edl --loader=Qualcomm_662_loader.elf &&\
./edl/edl --loader=./edl/Loaders/qualcomm/factory/sdm662/0014d0e100000000_d40eee56f3194665_FHPRG.bin &&\
./edl/edl r boot_a boot_a &&\
./edl/edl reset # use EDL loader, pull boot_a and reset
t=45; echo "> waiting ${t}s for reboot" && sleep $t
adb push boot_a /sdcard/Download/
read -erp '> please install via Magisk and press <Return> when finished..'
patchedfile=$(adb shell 'ls -1 /sdcard/Download/' | tail -1 | grep patched)
adb pull /sdcard/Download/$patchedfile
adb reboot bootloader
t=15; echo "waiting ${t}s for bootloader" && sleep $t
read -erp '> flash (1); boot only (2): ' prompt
case $prompt in
1) fastboot flash boot $patchedfile ;;
2) fastboot boot $patchedfile ;;
*) echo "no valid option; exiting, but remaining in fastboot mode. You may try 'fastboot flash boot ${patchedfile}' for flashing or 'fastboot boot ${patchedfile}' for testing yourself." && exit 1
esac
echo "> booting $patchedfile"
cd $_OLDDIR
echo "> all done; I hope it worked : )"
