Synchronize is broken

In my 2024 version of Premiere, I had no issues synching a video clip with a second audio file from my microphone. In this current version though, when I try to synchronize the audio, the video suddenly jumps 5 minutes down the timeline (the video is only 1 minute long) and the audio doesn't move anywhere. So they're not even synching, the synchronize button is just moving my video and it's really frustrating! Not sure if this is a bug or if there's something I can do myself, but I would appreciate the help in getting this solved.
