"/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system" missing directory, cannot mount custom ROM!

Since i was hoping i could root and maybe install a custom ROM onto my Moto X Play, i followed all the steps correctly, and managed to get myself stuck at trying to flash a custom ROM.

Last i witnessed the device boot to the stock OS is before I flashed SuperSU onto my phone, to which it got my device stuck in a 'bootloop'. I try to flash SuperSU again to see if anything didnt follow through properly, and it fails.

I decide to get my hands on a custom ROM (CyanogenMod) and try flashing that, and it fails.
(Note: i am using TWRP recovery to do this)

I managed to find where it was going wrong in the logs, and it reads:
could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system, assuming ext4
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system at /system: no such file or directory
unmount of /system failed; no such volume

After looking through the file manager, I found that the directory "/dev/block/bootdevice" did not exist, and I am pretty sure that this is what is keeping my device 'half-dead'.

Is there any way to restore this and any other missing directories so I can actually flash a custom ROM?
