Trying to start the server, I navigate too: /Library/PostgreSQL/12/bin
from bin, I ran: sudo -u postgres ./pg_ctl start -D /Library/PostgreSQL/12/data

What do the logs say...
When I ran the status command instead of start, it of course eluded to not running.I mention all of this with the caveat that I did recently restore from a backup because I replaced my HDD with a SSD.
You should be very specific as to how you restored your database from backup because there is a good chance this wasn't done properly and you presently have a corrupted database on your hard drive.
