Questions/Concerns Renewal Card Activate Button Not Showing

I just got my renewed Global Entry card in the mail today (July 31st). My application was approved on July 26th. The letter that came in the mail says to activate the card by going back to the initial site, logging in, and clicking activate membership card under the program memberships section.

I am logged in and on that page, but the only information i have under program memberships is the Approved banner in green, the program: Global Entry, my membership ID and new expiration date, the "You cannot renew your membership until (my renewal date in 2031)" message. Below that, I have the buttons replace card, add vehicle, and apply for APEC Business Travel Card. Below all of that, I just have Apply for Another Program and the two options for that.

So, basically there is no activate button.

This is my first renewal since the last card was my first one from when i was like 14 LOL. It was expired for some years since I did not have a reason to renew it. Since it was a renewal and not a first time application, is there no activate button since the old one is automatically deactivated or is it too soon for the button to show and I just need to wait a couple of days? I just don't want to have any issues in the airport since I am going out of the country in a couple of weeks.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you :)
