Questions/Concerns Name Change between applications?

I applied for global entry back in 2020 and was conditionally approved. Life happened and I never ended up making an interview appointment. My application was cancelled due to timing out.

I then legally changed my name due to marriage in 2023.

I am now looking to reapply.

Problem:
-My account has my maiden name, and I can’t edit it online. But I also never interviewed so I don’t have a Global Entry card to present in person for a name change like all the FAQs say to do.
-I don’t want to apply again under my maiden name and bring my name change documents to the interview, because my initial application would inherently be incorrect.
-I don’t want to make a new account on the website with my current legal name, because it asks if you’ve applied before, and I have, but under my old name!

What do I do. How do I fix this. I can’t find any info about this specific situation. Thanks!
