When I use the recolor tool, I am unable to recolor anything because my image is not registering or something. For some reason it is not reading my prominent colors correctly, if you look at the image the color is wrong. As a result I have no colors to select and change. It is impossible to change the color of an image

Illustrator can recolor vector art but not raster images.

You can select the image and choose Edit Original in the Links panel menu to edit it in Photoshop.

Alternatively, you could Image Trace the image to convert it to vector. After that it can be recolored However, Image Trace may not be accurate enough for what you need.
