Looking at the cipher string `JFJAM{j@3$@y_j!wo3y}` we can see that the format is familiar, the flags generally start with CYCTF so this looks like a simple Ceser Cipher.
We can eneter the string into CyberChef and use a ROT13 recipe, varying the shift value until we find the correct flag string;

And there we have our flag;
## CYCTF{c@3$@r_c!ph3r}
