Multi stream + replay buffer

Hi,
I stream to twitch and YouTube, simultaneously, at 6mbps and 35mbps respectively.
I would like to also use the replay buffer at the same time, in order to save high quality video for making shorts/highlights later, without having to go via YouTube.
If I start the replay buffer while the other streams are going, it seems ok for a bit, but then during loading a game or similar heavier workload, the twitch stream drops a load of frames due to encoder, and then while it stops - rendering - lag, then stops due to encoder taking too long to respond.

I figured the best way to fix this would be to just be using the same settings on the YouTube stream and recording/replay buffer so that it isn't having to do a third encode. But there isn't a "use the same settings" or "save the stream directly" button. If I manually make them all the same would it work?

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

NVM, figured it out.

FYI anyone in the future:
When viewing the settings for output, if I view them as "simple" instead of "advanced" I can select the recording quality to be "same as stream". Manually setting everything the same does not work.
So now I have YouTube setup as my primary stream in OBS, output (simple) with recording quality set as "same as stream" replay buffer on.
Multi stream plugin I have both YouTube (get from OBS settings) and Twitch (set to 1080p 6mbps), haven't decided if which button/s are easier to press yet. It appears to work fine when streaming from the OBS start button, or the multi stream start buttons without using the main OBS "Start streaming" button, although then I manually have to click start replay buffer, but don't have to faff selecting the YouTube broadcast stuff.

Would very much love for multi streaming to be integrated into OBS. for multi streams to twitch in differing qualities, and a higher one for youtube etc.
