Question / Help OBS Suddenly Giving Mic Audio Issues

hey all!
So I have been using OBS for awhile, not as my default recording software but to noodle around and practice setting up for livestreams. It's always worked perfectly, so I didn't think anything of messing around with getting it setup for my first live stream until yesterday. I was scheduled to have my first live stream tonight (Monday), and of course everything that could go wrong with it, is going wrong. The biggest thing I can't wrap my head around is the huge audio problem I am having. Previously no issues, and please read to the end of this, but now when I go to record, my audio is only in my left ear. Not only are my audio settings on mono, but even in the mixer, my mic is set to downmix to audio. No matter what I do, no matter what settings I try, there is only audio is one ear. I thought I fixed it last night, after uninstalling and reinstalling the entire program. Went to record and mono audio was there. Then this morning, was fixing up some scenes and when I went to record to see how they looked, the audio problem was back and I hadn't messed with any of the settings from last night. This is the most bizarre thing ever, and no amount of searching seems to yield an answer to this problem. Of course, everything was working perfectly a week ago. The audio hardware being used is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and an AT2020 microphone. None of this had any issues. I checked the hardware in Audacity under mono settings and that seems to work just fine. So I feel as if there has to be some setting I am missing in OBS that's causing all this frustration.

If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it so much!
Thank you!
