At move 45 I found my mate, and also messaged it to him in hopes of not dragging it on. Is there a faster one than what I did? From that position?

Game 1357982


45. ... Kh4
46. Kh1 Rg3 (to avoid stalemate)
47. Kh2 Nf3+
48. Kh1 Rg1#

incorrect for the completion of the game, yes. That is the position in which I saw mate from (after white's 45th move).

Then your solution is wrong.

no I created the FEN with my brain... I didn't copy it from game history

I looked at the board and made it upside-down. Yes I was wrong, so the solution deals with if the black side is facing you.

I think we found where the fault lies.

Can't say I'm surprised.
