Help with "Verifying that you represent ___"

Hello,

My Google Knowledge panel has been up for a couple months now but i've been having trouble claiming it. When I select "Claim Knowledge Panel" i'm given the option to Verify that I represent the entity (me) through Search Console verification. I've completed many forms of verification and I still receive the same error each time I attempt to login that says "Couldn't verify you. Make sure you're using the correct account for the site/profile you're signing in to."

How do I get passed this? I feel like i've done everything correct. I even waited 48 hours assuming the changes took time.

Hi Jetb,

Are you signed into the Google account associated with the entity in this case you?

YouTube
Search Console
Twitter
Facebook

If Google can’t identify any sites associated with the entity, you should be prompted to provide more information to help verify it is you.

I just get this "Couldn't verify you. Make sure you're using the correct account for the site/profile you're signing in to." and no other prompts. This is the same Google Account that I am verified owner under. Not sure what's wrong. This is a real PITA to set up.
