Unfair blocking

This post was translated using a translator.
I'll try to keep it brief.
My account was banned for "Gameplay Improvement."
My account history:
Registration: June 27, 11:00 PM
First ban: July 11, 7:00 PM
Ban lifted: July 14, 6:00 PM
Last ban: July 17, 8:00 PM
Six appeals filed, all denied
At the time of this post, my account is still banned.
In total, I've played about 70 hours on PC.
I started playing Apex in Season 19 on PS5, took Master Mode a couple of times when I had free time, and sold my console in Season 27 and started building a PC.
I started playing on PC in Season 29 and created a new account to avoid cross-progression.
I play on PC with a ZD Ultimate Legend controller, firmware version 1.24.1.
I created You can check out the YouTube playlist and decide for yourself whether I played fairly or not. Some videos even show programs running in the background.

I really hope this post will draw attention to my issue and get me unbanned.
Or can someone tell me where I'm cheating?
I don't want to create a new account and waste time and money on it, and I don't want to use the old one either. And of course, I'm worried about getting banned again.
This situation is very upsetting to me, as in 10 years of playing various games, I've never been banned from any of them before. And here are two at once.
I'm currently playing Fortnite and have reached the highest rank, even though it's also EAC, but I haven't been banned, even though I'm playing on the same gamepad and the same PC.
I don't see the point in filing a new appeal yet; they're not endless. Could you suggest any other ways to convince support that I played fairly?

    Hi qqpokoy​,

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve gone through multiple appeals and are still left without a clear resolution.

    Unfortunately, we can’t review gameplay footage, background programs, controller firmware, detection data, or account evidence from the forums. We also can’t determine whether the penalty was correct, explain exactly what triggered the “Gameplay Enhancement” action, or escalate an individual case to another review team.

    The only team able to review this type of account action is the Terms of Service team through the official appeal process:

    Check and appeal EA Account locks, bans, and suspensions

    If the option to appeal is still available, include any new and relevant information directly in the appeal, such as the controller model and firmware version you were using. You can also scroll to the bottom of the guide and select Contact us if you need help accessing the appeal process.

    Since six appeals have already been denied, further submissions containing the same information may result in the same decision. If the appeal option is no longer available, there isn’t another forum-side route we can provide to overturn the action.

    I’m sorry we can’t give you the specific explanation you’re looking for.

    I've provided them with all the information I could, but they keep denying my requests. As a result, I've turned to the forum for assistance, as the support team is unable to provide any information.

    They don't seem to be trying to understand the situation, and they haven't contacted me in any way. I'm at a loss as to what else I can send them to unlock the account.

    The lock screen displays the following message:

    "This means using unauthorized methods to increase your in-game performance by removing gameplay restrictions or improving your in-game capabilities (such as improving your weapons, movement, or items)."

    In my appeal, I've attached 30 videos of my gameplay, where it's clearly visible that I'm not using any of these methods.

    So, what's the outcome? We've verified that you're cheating, and it's great. But where's the justice? Does Apex care about honest players who can pay their bills? Well, So it's time to move on to another game.
