Ok, I have looked quite a bit for a fix to this, it is my first time streaming and i have massive black bars at the side. the only fix i found stretched my screen on twitch to the point where it actually hurt your eyes. is there any other way or is stretching it the only fix?

OBS is configured properly to stream at 16:9 which would normally prevent the black bars you describe, but in your case the program you're capturing is running at an odd resolution of 1039x904. See if there's a way to resize it to a more standard resolution (1280x720 for example) or run it in full screen mode at your monitor's native resolution of 1920x1080.

As an alternative solution, if that doesn't quite fix the issue for some reason, you could fill the empty areas with other content or use an image overlay to cover the sides up some.
