Taking Independence glitch

[𝓒𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓞-]

I get the quest, I go down there, kill the mirelurks, the eggs, and their queen. Preston tells me I gotta hook up power to the radio, but I cannot use the workshop in the courtyard, it says that I am not allied with the settlement. There is a marker for me to go through a door underneath the castle to get to the tunnels below, and there is a workshop I can supposedly use down there, but I cannot use that workshop to build the needed generator to power up the transmitter.
The last time I did this quest, I used the console to force the quest complete, but then I never received the Ronnie Shaw/Artillery quest, because the transmitter is never powered up.

How do I fix this? I need the transmitter powered up if I want artillery support later on down the road.

walk around the castle to be sure all mirelurks are killed, some are hidden along the top and will popup in the grass

the workshop should then work

Been playing this game for a damn long while now... Every time before this and the last playthrough, I have had no problems on this quest, both on my computer and on the Xbone. And I know where ALL the mirelurks are at the castle.
All mirelurks are killed. Every last one, as well as all the eggs.
And here is where I am getting an icon to go to... below the castle

The workshop is not underground, it is outside on ground level. There are some workbenches underground. And just who did you kill?

It was the Mirelurk Queen I killed... kinda said so in the original post... and there IS a workshop below in the tunnels... and I know what workshop it is that I am supposed to use.

I figured out what was causing this glitch in my game - it was the "Castle Tunnel Restoration" mod - as soon as I disabled it and reloaded from a save prior to the Mirelurk Queen being killed, the game played through just fine and it allowed me to ally with the settlement.

Hope this helps someone!

FIXED!!

Just for the record I was getting the error where the workshop was telling me that I wasn't allied with this settlement. I used console commands to try dropping another workshop and that one told me there was still enemies in the area. I had a bad feeling because one of the minutemen NPCs kept shooting in to the floor like there was an enemy that slipped underneath it. I tried killall and kah but to no avail nothing worked. So, I went back to a previous save before accepting the quest from garvey to meet him out there and went out there to kill everything myself and clear it out. What do you know? The workshop now worked. I went to talk to Preston Garvey and selected the option to tell him that i already cleared it. I hope this helps!

I am still having the same problem as OP and others here. I am thinking on using console commands to end the quest, because it is not working at all. I think walked around the whole castle for hours and did not found any mirelurks or eggs left and I have killed the queen.
