Remove Meta account set up by Hacker

Meta support instructed me to come here to address an issue where a Meta account was set up in my name, however not my email address.  I'm unable to remove or disconnect the email address from a hacker who added on to my Facebook / Instagram accounts because it requires an auth-code be sent to THAT email address which is not mine. It is the email address of someone who hacked my account in July, 2024.  And if I choose to Email me when someone replies here it is going to got the hackers email, not mine!

Below are the instructions that Meta support sent me so you can see exactly what they are referring people to do:
