Elaaden quest bugs: "The Flophouse" and "Settling Elaaden"

Product: Mass Effect Andromeda
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
What edition do you have? Standard Edition
Physical Disc or Digital version? Digital Based Install
Summarize your bug I can't set an outpost on Elaaden despite having the viability at 88%. Also, the Flophouse quest is bugged.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How long has this issue been happening? Always Happens
Please select your region North America
Run the www.speedtest.net network benchmark and post your upload and download speeds.
What company provides your internet service? Bright House
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know if this bug happens often but I can't set an outpost on Elaaden and nothing happens after disabling the alarm in the flophouse quest.
What is the AMD or Nvidia Model Number of your graphics card?
Please enter memory size in GB. 1tb
‌Elaaden's viablity is at 88%. I have done the monoliths and have also cleared the vault. I have also resolved the tension in the krogan colony. When ever I go the the outpost marker, it won't let me set up an outpost. I think what is preventing me from setting an outpost is the quest "The Flophouse". After disabling the security, nothing happens. There is no marker to go to and it's stuck on "hold your ground until security system can be hacked".

    Does anyone know if EA actually looks at these reported bugs and addresses them?

    Thanks,

    They have already fixed some reported bugs, so the answer will be yes.

    So a list of Side Quests cannot be completed without first completing The Flophouse:

    1)  The Flophouse

    2)  Settling Elaaden

    3)  Task:  Boosting the Signal (since cannot establish an outpost on Elaaden)

    4)  Task:  Outpost Supplies on Elaaden

    5)  The Little Things That Matter (since I need the outpost on Elaaden to get a final ZK Resource Tracker)

    6)  Architect on Elaaden

    7)  Liam Kosta:  Outpost World

    Because of this one bug, the experience has been ruined for me.  I am on the verge of starting Mission 6 (Meridian: The Way Home), but I would like to complete all the other tasks first.

    Would seriously love a reply from EA.

    It is necessary to load a savegame prior to clearing the flophouse if you want to finish this. Or start a new game.

    Like I already wrote, you need to load a savegame prior to this mission or start a new game.

    The problem is it won't let me into the command center. I just keep getting stuck in a loop of turning of the alarm and holding my ground.
