Came across hacking/cheating on PS4. How can I report further?

Hey, so I just finished a match where I came across a hacker in the game. I happen to be playing on the PS4 console. I came across this cross play Ace player equipped with a flashlight who just went full on cheat mode.

His flashlight beam was unnaturally bright, like the beam was abnormal and covered a wide area that any flashlight with the best add-ons couldn't cover normally. Also, the blind duration lasted for maybe 30 seconds or more, even when I turned away. He also proceeded to insta heal other survivors in my face, he walked right through a wall, and speed zoomed to me. I believe he also did insta-gens on me, as they completed a bunch in a small time frame.

At least 3 of the players were cross play and, based on their add-ons (Ghastly Gateau, Escape Cake, and Bound Envelope), most likely a SWF. Only one player was on the PS4 and after I messaged them, they claimed that they didn't notice any hacking. Which is impossible, considering Ace insta healed them and others in front of her constantly.

At the end match results, I looked at the Ace. He had no perks, a purple flashlight with no add ons. He also had a full 32k points, which can't be possible either since there's no way he got enough altruistic actions in through his cheating insta heal methods.

So, I tried to save a video recording from my PS4, but the stupid thing messed up and didn't save the video properly. I wanted to send in with an official complaint to the devs about these people, but now I can't. I went ahead and reported all of them for cheating, but I know it doesn't do much on console.

Does anyone know what else I could do? I read that they need proof of the cheating for the report, but obviously its gone now. I don't want to let these jerks go around and ruin people's games like this. Any advice or direction would be great. I did screenshot their names, but still doesn't do much.

Also, sorry for the long rant and explanation. I just needed to vent my disgust and anger out somewhere.
