Podcast Episode stuck in draft mode - HELP!

My podcast has been approved and I already have a trailer uploaded on my channel. My first actual episode has been stuck in 'draft' mode going on 3 days and I was supposed to have it on the platform by a certain day. There is nothing wrong with the feed. The episode loaded just fine on other platforms and is playing just fine in draft mode plus all the info is filled out. I do not have the option to 'publish' or 'save' as both buttons are grayed out. Does anyone know what the issue could be? I advertised to my followers that I'd have this posted and now I'm days behind schedule. Not to mention I'm concerned about this being an issue for future episodes.
