Problem configuring CW9178I for Mesh

Hello Community,
 
I'm struggling to get my CW9178I APs meshing on my 9800-L-F. I have followed a Configuration Guide from YouTube, but I am stuck at the part where i am supposed to classify the "AP Mode - Bridge" and "Role - Root/Mesh". I cannot find anywhere in the GUI where I can specify these parameters.
 
This led me to looking for more cisco documentation on setting up mesh. I was looking for any other mesh configuration guides, either through the GUI or CLI. I couldn't find anything better than the YouTube video I was following. However it did add to my confusion, because I cam upon a Feature Matrix for Cisco Wireless Access Points document that says the the CW9178 cannot do "Mesh Mode" (Image Attached Below).
 
Any guidance on how I could move forward is appreciated.

  - @Bradley Rousseau    That is probably true (no mesh support) for those models, because they are designed for 
                                        local use.
                                        Seems to be confirmed with : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/215100-join-mesh-aps-to-catalyst-9800-wireless.html#toc-hId--1791301994
