I give this suggestion to your victim of harassment/extortion many years ago, but i believe this suggestion also apply to you.
I really really recommend you to take a break from Bitcoin puzzle/recovery give up and look for free/cheap mental health support offered by government or non-profit organization.
im pretty sure on what i need but dont have the insight or coding skills to complete it ... yes i have the key yes its valid...

DO NOT recommend this approach, because from what i remember, you clearly don't have actual data needed to reconstruct the private key. But these days, coding with AI (sometimes called vibecoding) is a thing. I don't think you would trust random AI company, so your option is limited to run local AI, assuming you already have good device or willing to buy good device. By good device, i mean one with lots of GPU or Mac-like device that have very fast unified memory.
