Creating a Loft between different Geometries

Hello everyone, I'm new to OnShape and so far really enjoy the thorough design experience it provides that I just was not getting with some of the other free alternatives.
I am trying to create a simple part that has some complex geometry I could not produce using a simple parametric CAD program. I am trying to create a mount for one of my machines to attach a shopvac hose. The initial geometry of the hole is elongated, but it will need to compress horizontally while expanding vertically to become a perfect circle for the hose end. Almost creating a kind of Venturi Tunnel to maximize the efficiency of the vacuum.
When I go to create a loft between the two geometries, the error it gives state it cannot work with an object that is a loop.
What is the best approach for this use case?
Thank you!

Would be best if you could share your document as well so people can have a look directly at your issue/geometry.
Cheers,
