how do I update an ssl certificate without access to cpanel?

You need to generate a new certificate with any free Lets Encrypt tool.

Krydos recommended this command line tool: https://github.com/do-know/Crypt-LE (completely free but not the easiest thing to use if you don't typically work with CLI tools). ZeroSSL is an easier product but is trialware, you have to pay them after I think 3 uses. There are also similar websites to zerossl that you can find online to do it without paying, but there's no guarantee as to security or continued availability with those.

Regardless, once you get the certificate and key, upload the files into your home folder via SFTP (do not place them in public_html as that will compromise them), then let us know and Krydos can install them for you (if you look over in Escalated requests you'll see what I mean...)

You'll need to repeat this process every 90 days until Plesk is working and the accounts are migrated.
