BAM! doesn't find my existing accounts at the projects while I'm sure they're there.

Correct sentence:
BAM! doesn't find my existing accounts at the projects, while I'm sure they're there.

Putting this comma will change the meaning of while, see this comparison between using or not the comma before while:
BAM! doesn't find my existing accounts at the projects during which I'm sure they're there.
BAM! doesn't find my existing accounts at the projects, whereas I'm sure they're there.
