How to change Elgato 4K X EDID, software is end of life?

I've just purchased an Elgato 4K X and I am having a hard time getting it to do passthrough and capture of my ultrawide monitor, which the specs say it should do on the latest firmware.

I would like to try setting a custom EDID, and apparently I need to do this in the 4K Capture Utility app, but apparently that app is now end of life and no longer listed on the downloads section of the site.

I tried the Elgato Studio app, and while that shows the 4K X, I can't seem to configure it from that app.

Is it even possible to do this anymore, or have I purchased a defunct product that I should return?

Needed to do a "sidegrade" for my main workstation, moving to an ATX motherboard so that I can add additional memory sticks as well as run 2x GPUs for VFIO passthrough.

I really liked the isometric style panels Jakob uses on his builds, so I designed some that interlock so that they could be printed in sections and have the appearance of full sized case panels. I also designed some custom feet in the style of the C4-SFX, reusing a design idea I had for a NR200 mod where the IO and power button are in the front foot.

The vent holes are a little big, but I'm OK with that. After 6 years of using an A4-SFX, it's nice to have a build with decent cooling!

I had a realisation while building this case was that I will probably never buy another commercial case ever again. I can design and 3D print a case to my exact specifications, and it'll always be a fraction of the cost of a commercial case.
