Need help getting Peacock to work with my Xfinity preferred email

I need some sort of reset or something to occur that will make my diamond level perk work with my gmail address.  My Comcast account has “[Edited: "Personal Information"]@comcast.net” as my Comcast email address.  That email address was deleted/disabled last year due to inactivity.  I use a gmail address primarily and it’s set as my preferred email in my Comcast account profile.  I couldn’t get the Peacock link to work and ended up on the phone with Comcast technical support for several hours. They insisted that I use my “@comcast.net” address when setting up the Peacock account.  So I did that and setup an account with peacock.  But the comcast side never happened and I’ve been billed by Peacock for the last two months of service.

I have worked with Peacock support and I have a Peacock account the uses my gmail address for login.  The Xfinity app says I have already activated my Peacock app but that was probably with that disabled email.  How can I activate my Peacock subscription using my gmail address on the Xfinity side?
