Help: Actiontec MoCA 2.5 Setup Question

Hi all - I got two of these MoCA network adapters from Amazon recently and tried setting up my network today: https://www.screenbeam.com/products/home-networking/ecb6250/

Their quickstart guide shows the order going:
Coax Outlet -> MoCA Network Adapter -> Ethernet Port of Modem/Router
https://www.screenbeam.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/2354b05-ECB6250-QSG-0535-0856-003.pdf

I tried the above connection pattern, but my modem seems to only want to accept internet in through a coax port and feed it out through ethernet (Tp-Link TC7650). I also tried splitting like so:
Coax Outlet -> Splitter ->
1: -> Modem
2: -> MoCA Network Adapter -> Router
but this didn't seem to work either. Internet was getting to the modem but seemingly not to the router.

Does anyone have any advice they can offer on how to best set this up? I'm confused as to whether my modem can accept incoming network connection via the ethernet port when it seems to typically accept incoming network from the coax and feed it out through ethernet. Provider is Comcast.

Maybe I need something more like this which has coax in and out, https://www.screenbeam.com/products/home-networking/ecb6200/? Can 2.0 mix with 2.5?

Thank you
