I can't pin my options bar...

It sounds like you have tried a lot of things, but have you tried resetting the current workspace?

I just tried doing it manually, and it was not easy grabbing it to move it initially.

Grab it via the slightly darker rectangle on the left.

And move it up till you see the blue line

But Window > Workspace > Reset [current workspace]  should fix it.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
