Default Steering Column Locked / Used Parts Programming

One day I get in my car to goto work and steeringwheel is locked so car won’t start after trying for a hour it would not become me unlocked. And battery dies at that point towed to Lexus dealer. They said I neeeded to replace the steering column assembly,actuator lockand multiplex. To fix the problem $4000. I bought the parts used all came from the same donor vehicle took to Lexus to install and after installed them they said that the partscan’t be used because they are programmed to a different Vehicle and can’t be reprogrammed. Car has been at Lexus for 2 months. Also the parts they recommend I buy when I look them up say that they are not for my vehicle. Buy for a different model year. I have a 2007 es. I need help. What should I do has anyone replaced these parts before?
