Cannot save family from Caesars Legion

[MonoChaos]

So I am on a quest where I have to save a family from the Legion. One of the family members told me to talk to Canyon Runner but he will not talk to me about letting them go. I looked on the Fallout wikia and apparently it is because I have completed the Ring a Ding Ding mission and the only way to talk to Canyon Runner about the family is to accept a mission from Caesar. But I don't want to do missions for Caesar. Is there a mod that will open up dialogue to talk to Canyon Runner about the family or am I just gonna have to swallow this Caesar flavored poison?

Silently kill all the Legion in Cottonwood Cove. Then release the family. Kill Canyon Runner first.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the info on the wiki is correct.
I've had a look at the conditions for Canyon Runner's dialogue, and Ring-a-Ding-Ding! doesn't appear to be related at all.

Here are all of the conditions that are needed to ask him "Do you have any "captures" with the last name, "Weathers?".

I suspect the third condition is wrong. It doesn't make sense for it to be using objective 10 from "Eye for an Eye"' instead of the one from "Left My Heart".

You could try using this console command to display the objective and see if that gets him talking.

You can hide it again by repeating the same command, but replacing the 1 at the end with a 0.

You don't necessarily have to do any missions for Caesar. Whatever he asks you to do at first also benefits you if you're going for a Mr. House win or an independent one. Possibly even the NCR, I'm not sure. So it's worth it just to go up to the Fort and listen to him, then do his first quest. Once that initial task is complete, you'll never have to bother with him again, except to crush his Legionnaires. And once you get back from the Fort, you'll be able to haggle with Canyon Runner for the family.

Except I cannot. Like I said, the option for buy them off of him will not show up.

You have to go to the Fort and talk to Caesar first. Once that's done and you come back to Cottonwood Cove you'll be able to make a deal with Canyon Runner, not before then.
