Just to update everyone who might run across this thread with the same issue.
So I didn't want to pay support and was willing to lose all my data, because my HDDs has lots of ATA errors so I chucked them into the freezer (in airtight bags of course), I left it there for a few weeks, (because I had to buy a backup disk big enough to backup my data, hence the few weeks wait)
once I got my backup disk I put the drives back into the NAS and proceed to remove inactive volume and create new volume, and to my surprise the old volume came back intact with everything on it (I think all I did was click remove inactive then click new volume and the old one just came back, it didnt even asked me to put in a new volume name just restored itself). I am not sure if the fridge help or this error is merely a bug on the front end.
I also did try to run these commands, but it didnt seems to help
mdadm --examine --scan
mdadm --assemble --scan (with really force )
so yea I didnt lose my data and I now have a backup
