CR SP26 VS2019 Parameter Panel Missing Parameters

I have run the the update to SP26 for some reason my parameters are no longer showing up in the parameter panel on the web crystalreportviewer after the report has initially loaded. The parameter(s) is prompted initially to run the report.

As a work around I have set HasToggleParameterPanelButton= false, HasRefreshButton=true, and ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh=false.

<CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="Report" Runat="server" AutoDataBind="true" Height="1250px" HasCrystalLogo="False" HasRefreshButton="True" HasToggleParameterPanelButton="false" BestFitPage="True" ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh="false" ToolPanelView="None" DisplayStatusbar="True" HasToggleGroupTreeButton="false" EnableDatabaseLogonPrompt="False" PrintMode="ActiveX" />

This does show the parameter(s) as expected. My report parameters are set to editable and when you loop through the parameterfield using the code below the Usage2 values is already set to all the available values (side note, this snip came from another post, but if you try it you will get a Not Supported exception)

foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField parameterField in reportDocument.ParameterFields)
{
  parameterField.ParameterFieldUsage2 = ParameterFieldUsage2.ShowOnPanel;
}

As you can see from pic here the parameter for this report is missing from the Parameter Panel. Not sure how to fix this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thinking it might be a bug. I included my code below for reference. Prior to SP25 I was clearing the parameterfieldinfo property using Report.ParameterFieldInfo.Clear() in the report init method. This might have something to do with the missing parameters, but I have no way of testing, because if I add that back I cannot get the report to load as when you click the OK on the parameter dialog the report's ajax postback just returns the parameter dialog back instead of the rendered report.

Notes about my upgrade:

I ran the exe as the admin as instructed. I let it install the 64bit msi. The 32bit msi was already installed, but did not get updated. I updated it manually. The VS toolbox still has the .3500 controls referenced so I removed them and added the new items (not sure if that was suppose to happen automatically). I did remove all my references in the image below and added them back which updated the project file to the .4000 dll's.
