unable to change difficulty on the realm i own/permanently stuck on peaceful

since the 1.16.210 update i have been unable to change difficulty on my realm and have 50+ members on it from around the world so would very much like to know why when i change the difficulty nothing happens (i have peaceful days easy days and hard days but am currently stuck without mobs on peaceful)
i have tried changing difficulty on every device i have and have logged in and out multiple times and have even tried various /commands (my realm has acheivements on so /commands dont work anyway i knew this)
i was really hoping that this new 1.16.220 update would fix my issue but it hasnt so please fix this as i literally haev no idea what to do to rectify this issue

as a alternate final resort before my subscription is closed I've managed to reupload a previous save, not a new non backup one, but the steps I took to upload the realm backup are as follows and the results are now being stuck from peaceful to normal difficulty but non reversable

1
make a save of your realm by downloading the most recent backup
2
open that save to make sure it works as it should as a world eg it opens for a start
3
reset realm (caution make sure you don't skip steps 1 and 2or you will replace your realm with a brand new random seed)
4
join new reset empty realm to again make sure it all loads in (I did a slow 360 turn on the spot)
5
save and exit and then upload the most recent backup before the reset (it should be clear as the sizes will be different eg min is a 1.4-1.7gb world so easy to spot after 0-0.50mb reset)
the only thing this changed for me is the difficulty was stuck on peaceful and now its stuck on normal so I am not entirely happy about it
