I give up. Bwg320-500 ip passthrough will not work

About to rip my hair out. I've probably read 100 reddit threads about this over the last 2 days and can not figure it out.

Upgraded to att fiber a week ago and now have a bgw320-500. Speed was not what I wanted and there were too many deadzones in my house. Got a tplink deco 7 pro 13000. Did ip passthrough. Coverage and speed are now phenomenal, but I've got NAT issues. No amount of port forwarding helps and upnp fails. From what I understand, it looks like ip passthrough isn't working.

Ive tried the Mac address on the bottom of the main tp link as well as the mac address in the device list dropdown in the bgw (which is +1 digit; tp link says it ends in 44, bgw says it's 45). Neither work.

I'm at whits fucking end. I suck at networking so I'm way out of my wheelhouse here. Any help would be beyond appreciated.

Deco 7 Pro 13000 hot

Upgraded from Google nest mesh system to the deco 7 13000. I put all the routers in the same spots as they were with the Google system - 1 of which is my garage. It's HOT. Is this a problem or par for the course with these?
