Bought Ogham edition, Activated on steam, Game tells me i do not have early access, Help?

Basically the title.

I made a POE2 account on the website.
I bought the Ogham pack on the website.
I activated the Steam key on steam i got from buying on the website.
I downloaded the game on steam.
I pressed play and when it loaded in it said log in.
I clicked log in and it says i do no have early access even though the key i bought is say i do.

I don't know if my accounts are linked. I do not know how to link them i cannot find how to do that anywhere ive been googling and googling and checking everything. I do no know how to play despite buying the key and what i assumed was the early access package. I assumed if you buy the game now with open EA you could just install it and play i wasnt aware it'd be this hard or i would have just bought the game on steam itself for more money.

Please help im not sure how to play early access POE2 on steam or through steam. It is nearly impossible to find any info and the info i do find does not have replies or any solutions and no replies from devs there.

Do i refund this game here and just buy on steam or does someone know what to do?
