I am no expert but it looks like you have two routers. If you do, you should set one of them to bridge mode or you will have to port forward on both routers.

Nope. Step 2 is a public IP address, not private.

Details on private IP address ranges here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

The 100.64.48.1 is not strictly a private IP address but its also pretty much not a real one either.
I dont know when these crept in but this is an ISP reserved IP address.
I had previously seen this a couple of times in Turkey and one other place...

welcum2goodbrgr your ISP is sharing your IP address with other people.
You might in the first instance give them a call and tell them
"Im running a game that requires me to be able to accept inbound TCP 1802 connections on my router. It looks like I have a shared IPv4 address. Can you help me with this?"
and see what response you get.

Otherwise you will need to see the post on Port Forward Alternatives. Try Hamchi or ZeroTier as the easiest options to get started on.

SHARED-ADDRESS-SPACE-RFCTBD-IANA-RESERVED
This block is used as Shared Address Space. Traffic from these addresses does not come from IANA. IANA has simply reserved these numbers in its database and does not use or operate them. We are not the source of activity you may see on logs or in e-mail records. Please refer to https://www.iana.org/abuse/
Shared Address Space can only be used in Service Provider networks or on routing equipment that is able to do address translation across router interfaces when addresses are identical on two different interfaces.
