Wallet Unrecoverable after reinstalling opera

Somehow I lost access to the one waallet in opera that had funds in it on my desktop. I have my seed phrase but no way to recover it. I reinstalled my OS and my phone was replaced as well. I am no longer an opera user because of this but no the asset in there is worth my concern.. I want my funds out of there. With my seed phrase how can I recover it? It links me to some different wallet now... I got a screen shot of my wallet.

@z3r03rr0r In Opera for Android, go to Crypto Wallet and click on Restore Backup.

@leocg Already did and it recovers a different address entirely with no assets in it.... I am starting to believe this is intentional on Opera's part. My desktop should've been able to recover it just fine but it had to have the phone which cause the problems from what I can tell.

@z3r03rr0r The wallet in Opera for desktops is just a mirror/shortcut for the real wallet in Opera for Android.

@leocg It has been a while, I had just given up on it, but the fact I can still check it and see it is now aggrevating me. The PC has had an OS reinstall and the phone was replaced. I just don't get how my seed phrase is loading a new wallet and ignoring the one it was setup on. I have read of others having this problem also so that is another reason I no longer trust opera.
My seed was never compromised cause it was stored offline and I know for a fact no one could access it but me. So what is to be done? How do they just assign a new wallet to your seed phrase? Oh, my unstoppable domain NFT and account is attached to that as well. Forgot aboutt that. I need that account back. I never should've tried a wallet that doesn't give me the private key and only a seed phrase.

I am done with Opera and would advise anyone using Crypto to avoid this browser. Get a decent wallet with you private keys.... Should've known better. F*cking scammers!
