AD FS Certificate question

I am running ADFS, I have an ADFS Proxy and i have Office 365.  

Simply put my certificates have expired.  I am not ADFS expert but it is left to me to resolve so i need some assistance.  the cert was automatically renewed at godaddy.  i downloaded the cert to the primary ADFS Server and i have updated in ADFS Manager the Service Communication Certificate i restarted the server,  i can see that a separate certificate has been added under token signing that relates to the new certificate i have installed however it i set to Secondary and the option to set to primary is greyed out.

Also the Token Decrypt cert is also set to an old certificate,  i have automatic certificate renewal is set to true and i believe that this decrypting cert will also renew with time i am not sure.  i do not have the ability to auto add a cert due to this feature being enabled that said i am running server 2012.  is this the case?  Will the decrypt certificate automatically add.  also i need to set the secondary Token Signing certificate to Primary, as i stated it is greyed out.  i read something about a grace period where by it will automatically set itself to primary in about 5 days but this is no good for me if we have no service.  is there a way around it bearing in mind the old certificate is now expired.
