That doesn't really make a difference and only raises the question as to why wasn't the same done to JFK. Why wait for years as he's fighting and targeting your agency when they could've just sent JFK a message in the first months of his presidency as was done with Reagan?

I don't understand your question. Why would the CIA care about a massive multi-billion dollar criminal organization being behind the US President? Would that not be an extremely important thing for the CIA, in very specific particulars, to care about? Of all the organizations, the CIA is the best suited organization for that with the FBI coming in a distant second.
I stated that he turned on the mafia. He was on their side for campaign support then lost Cuba and tried thwarting CIA plans in Cuba which were beneficial to the Mafia.
The fact that he betrayed the mafia's trust and went behind the CIA is the context here.
They didn't kill him sooner because it's killing the Fing president in 1963. The CIA were working on Cuba and killing Castro. By 1963, Kennedy had almost completely gotten the CIA out of Cuba, at which point those trained assassins went to kill Kennedy. The mafia aided the CIA.
I think it's likely his dad got mafia help in helping him win certain places, mainly Illinois. Was the mafia on his side? Probably not after his bro started going after them.
That is one of the theories some put forth for a mob hit behind JFKs death. They helped him with the election and then he let his brother go after them, so they got mad. They could have carried it out, they could not have covered it up though. They would have needed help.

JFK was intending to splinter the CIA up before he died. I don't think they work hand in hand with the mafia or anything. I'm sure there are people they do get tips from, etc.
In the past yeah there was a time when the mafia could accomplish things our government agencies couldn't, but unfortunately we learned to really out-shady them.

The mafia are important in understanding the context. They benefitted greatly from Cuban casinos and Kennedy worked with them and gained their support which was what made him so famous in the run up to the election. Even Sinatra sang "everybody's voting for Jack" like he was a man of the people.
1960 would have been between Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon but Kennedy surprised everyone.
Then he tries to take down the CIA who were working in mafia interests to get rid of Castro and bring it back under US control. The Russians planned to put missles in Cuba and Kennedy had no choice but to stop CIA raids in Cuba. The people behind the raids were involved in the Kennedy assassination only to later be in the watergate scandal.
