[Spoilers] How Did Bran and Sam Get Through the Wall?

Rewatching the series for the first time in years and this confuses the hell out of me. Sam obviously left with the rest of the Night’s Watch from Castle Black, going through the tunnel there to get north of the Wall. We hear Bran say in Rains of Castemere that all of the tunnels through the wall belonging to abandoned outposts were blocked up with ice and snow when the Watch stopped manning them.

And yet when Sam and Bran meet up, Bran’s crew heads through a perfectly cleared tunnel under what I believe is supposed to be the Nightfort. So the question is, how? The Nightfort has to be abandoned, otherwise why would the Watch ever let a bunch of weirdos just traipse through their tunnel? Or was Bran wrong and the tunnels aren’t blocked up, in which case how have the Wildlings not discovered this and invaded south years ago? This feels like either a scene was cut explaining things better, or else a major plothole
