How do I Record 4 audio interface channels into obs on separate tracks. It sums channel 1 and 2 with 3 and 4 with mic/aux in OBS

I have a Focusrite 4i4 audio interface. I have 2 mics plugged into channel 1 and 2 on the front. I have a stereo music source plugged into channels 3 and 4 in the back of the interface. When using a DAW (Cubase) everything works great...all channels record and playback the way they should and can mute and solo as 4 separate audio tracks and files so it is not a windows issue as far as I can tell.

However, when using OBS, with the focusrite 4i4, when trying to video record, it seems all four channels are put together as a stereo track. Meaning channel 3&4 are recorded with the mic/aux1 containing the 2 mics. I need channel 3&4 to be on either a separate stereo track, or 2 mono tracks. This way when editing in Davinci, I will see 4 mono tracks, or 2 stereo tracks, and can mute the 3&4 music, or mute the channel 1 & 2 mics as needed. I am not streaming live. Is this possible, or does OBS sum all of the inputs from an audio interface to one stereo input in OBS?

Why am I doing this? I have a main computer with Cubase that I want to capture the screen video of cubase, but when I use both video cameras, two screen recording, and cubase playing, the computer gets too much latency and the audio glitches and I don't want to increase the buffers.

So I thought I would just output the cubase sound from computer 1 (a Windows10 i7 64gb ram, audio interface is Antelope Studio Synergy Core), and into a laptop (a windows 10 i7 32gb ram with focusrite scarlet 4i4) with the laptop using the 2 cameras and OBS. Everything works great except not separating the sound sources. Any help would be great as I honestly have spent about 40 hours trying everything to get this to work and still must be missing something. If it is not possible, I will create a video on you tube explaining that it is not possible so people don't waste their time on an impossible task, and then suggest to the developers of obs about this very very very important feature and donate. If it works, I will post a video on how to do this. I wish to do this for educational videos on recording in Cubase13, and need the voice tracks separate from the cubase tracks.I don't wanna record audio tracks separate like in cubase on the laptop and have to keep up with which audio files go to which videos and such. Thanks and any help would be great!
