Chromecast Ultra setup endless loop

Trying to setup my Ultra to my tv after a long hiatus. Chromecast is saved in my Home app, and I cannot remove it. Did a Factory Reset via the button on the CC. Tried to set it up as is through Home and it says the CC needs to be activated by the Device Utility app. Open the app, connect it to my wifi and then it says it cannot communicate. Extremely frustrated and would love help with this solution.

I am having similar issues but with nest hub. I activated nest hub max and two speakers but this one is stuck in endless loop. Is there an alternative way to activate..seems kinda dumb . I didn't buy this from the street, I got them from a bestbuy... Don't understand the need to activate them..
