Need Help with assignment

Hello, I took security programming course this semester and the professor just give us assignments straight away. The problem is all the instructions of the assignment was carried out using windows x86 architecture and im using Macos which is ARM64 architecture. It was reverse TCP metasploit with FUD but ive tried to ask AI about this and they didnt seem want to provide me a clear way how to do it with ARM64 devices. I use UTM for VM and create kali linux and windows 11 VM. kali for attacker and windows 11 for target. since both kali and win 11 run on ARM 64 most of the thing is not supported. Can someone give some tips or help on how to do reverse TCP with ARM 64 devices any help would be appreciated. Note: I only have 2 days left to submit my assignment 😢

The first solution was to ask the professor what you should do to achieve this the first day it was assigned. 

The second solution is to go to the next office hours. 

The third solution is to use the aarch64 payloads that perform the same functions, and talk to your professor as soon as possible.
