stylus, First I want to clarify that in order to change from Xraid to Flex raid or vice versa, it will require a factory default of the unit, which will result in data loss. As you are using a brand new unit, the data loss may be a non-issue.
That being said, after the factory default, you will enter the setup using RAIDar and configure the unit for Flex-raid there.

If you have data on the unit and it is refusing to boot, please open a case with Netgear technical support.
