Missing Gnome

First, I am absolutely pissed off to high hell that I have to post in the forums for this issue when i contacted tech support for this issue and they are unable to help.  I do not see how the company that made the game, programmed the game, monitors the game, and maintains the game cannot simply go into the XML or similar data that comprises my save file, and simply change the if then statement to read true after verifying that i have put in the work.  Rant over

Issue:  I have searched and found all 54 gnome locations and collected the subsequent gnomes.  It still says that i am missing ⚽ gnome and from reading this forum it would seem that it is not the same gnome for all others or possibly similar.  I am posting this so that some developer can hopefully take notice and hopefully place this in the next update.
