Connect your display to your 1060, not your motherboard.

sorry if this sounds stupid but how do I do that? lol

On the back of your computer, you plugged the monitor cable into the connector of the internal video card. This way, you are not using the GTX 1060 at all. Not for OBS, not for your game.
Plug the cable into the connector of your external video card.

The location matters more than the connector types. That log still shows connected to the motherboard. Restart obs after trying then upload the CURRENT log file.
