why wont port forwarding ever work?

I have been in the tech field for almost a decade and recently made the switch to xfinity and this new router and the bad "xfinity app" doesnt work when you try to port forward every time I do it never works. I am trying to port forward for a game server soo that me and a few friends can play on it. will the app ever be fixed for port forwarding? 
this is a picture showing the port forwards done properly in the app ----https://imgur.com/oQpXcmn    7777 port is for satisfactory and 8211 is for palworld neither of these ports will open 
this is a picture showing the ports closed ------ https://imgur.com/a/YuMmc2w

Any help would be greatly appreciated since ive called 5 times and no one has been able to help and has told me im doing something wrong
