Just started BF2042 on PC from Console - Immediately Banned

So to start, I've played BF on consoles since 1942 and all the way through BFBC2 and BF3-4  (skipped BF1 and BFV) and well into BF 2042. I decided to try BF 2042 on PC due to the beta for BF6 being available through steam and getting an early access code from a creator giveaway. Beta went amazing and played about 100 matches between Weekend 1 and 2. Hearing they had challenges for BF6 rewards in 2042. So here I am logging into my second instance on 2042 and hoping in a portal mode to play bigger ticket maps and get my XP when I was mid match and hit with "you've been banned" only to read the email after saying I was cheating? 

This is where I'm lost but might know why I got banned. I play tons of IDLE games on my PC while doing work and I have an autoclicker downloaded that helps me play https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ COOKIE CLICKER and other similar IDLE games where autoclickers are encouraged! I have zero reason to click the mouse button when I play controller in battlefield and I think EA's Anti-cheat picked that up and immediately banned me. I appealed this ban obviously and tried to find anything that would get me logs to help prove my case but I didn't find any logs or anything outside submitting my BF2042 stats which I'll post here.

I am clearly NOT cheating with stats like mine but if anyone can help me or has experience reversing a ban, this would be insanely appreciated as a long time lover and fan of BF series and hater of cheating as a console player who is usually forced to play with cheater (why i stopped playing Warzone). Thanks a million all and I really hope and pray someone can help me!

Here's my stats(xbox)-

    I'm having the same issue and wanted to provide a detailed account. I was permanently banned for "cheating" yesterday, and my appeal was denied with a generic response and no evidence.

    For weeks, I played BF2042 without any problems across two systems: my ROG Ally X (with its native controller) and my Alienware laptop (using a Razer controller at first).

    The ban occurred shortly after I purchased a new Alienware AW510K keyboard and AW720M mouse last week. The only software I used was the Alienware Command Center to perform a standard function: keybinding the side buttons on the new mouse.

    The accusation is absurd—my stats are frankly terrible. I am not a cheater. I can only speculate that the trigger was either the Command Center software or perhaps erratic input from me getting used to the new high-profile keyboard, which causes me to mistype frequently.

    As a long-time fan who has played nearly every Battlefield title, this is incredibly disheartening. I was excited for the next installment but have already canceled my pre-order for the Phantom Edition. If this is how loyal customers are treated, I cannot continue to invest in the franchise. The lack of transparency is unacceptable.
