Bridge mode not forwarding WAN IP to External Gateway/Router

Business modem ver 2 (brand new)

Modem Port 5 to Ubiquity UXG-Pro gateway ISP In (no other connections on modem)

Issue; WAN IP inbound to modem is not the WAN IP address forwarded to gateway.

Modem in advanced Bridge mode and confirmed by Comcast install tech.

I will not expose my WAN IP, so here is example of what is showing

Comcast WAN IPP Address - 73.10.xxx.xxx

Gateway reported WAN IP Address - 71.100.xxx.xxx

On Win10 client, https://whatismyipaddress.com/ is 71.100.xxx.xxx

The modem it replaced had both WAN addresses the same. I have no external connectivity to my servers without the WAN addresses the same.

What do I do?

user_bc4526 had same issue in April 7th, 2022. However, no solution provided in thread.
I need this fixed. It is in the Comcast modem.

Please call at [Edited: "Personal Information"] when you need me. You can remotely examine modem. I believe it is an internal modem configuration issue. The WAN IP comes in; however, the modem still is DHCP for outbound packets.
