OBS Crashes in 'normal' or 'safe' mode but ONLY when you click settings

[Quake_Sinatra]

Running Manjaro linux with Nvidia 4071 TI and OBS package runs fine and most things work great.. i can make scenes and sources and record fine BUT if on click on Settings (under Controls) or under file - Settings OBS segfaults. I have read through forum posts (here and github) and found many instances where crashing occurs but most seem related to pipewire or VDPAU VAAPI - and seemed really close to the problem
but i have followed the steps suggested of the more recent posts (within 1 year) and have gotten no closer to a solution. I am at a loss for what to do next .. my crash info from gdb is below .. it seems like it all points to libc which has had/caused some other issues as of late.. Does anyone have a solution/suggestions that i could try? unsure of what other info to post so i will post inxi -v (always big with the Manjaroans) and the backtrace and provide anything else of use on request. Thank you in advance for any help offered. And it does not happen with a flatpak version but that has other issues that i am not interested in troubleshooting as I only installed flatpak on the system to see if it has the same problem. One other note i have gone down the removing QT6

as an addendum i though it may be useful to the the
(gdb) run part :
file is longer than allowed so attached as file named gdb_run.txt (just cuz it looks a little sus but not as bad as when every space was a period )
