Google Search Console will not see a website I manage as my property.

So far I have:
- Added a TXT Record
- Added a CNAME Record
- Added META tag

And all have failed to verify. Here is where it gets funky.

The CMS we use is force.com and does not allow FTP access and therefore I am unable to upload the verification file. While I can't see if the TXT and CNAME records I can see the META tag when I inspect the code. The code is original layout like this from Google:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="secret" />


However when inspecting I see this, which I think is the caused by the CMS:

<meta content="secret" name="google-site-verification" />


Google may be looking for a direct match for the required code and as I can't stop the CMS from altering the code I can't proved that.

I stuck and I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?
