Text based editing commands are not doing anything, I have my clip fully transcrbed, which is bugged, labelling 6 distinct speakers, when there are only 2, but thats a seperate issue. When attempting any editing, NONE of the buttons work (insert, overwrite, cut) nothing works. This is incredibly frustrating and a horrible experience, the tutorial vids explain nothing or even point the user in the right direction if something is off

Joshua,
Sorry to hear it is not working for you.
A screenshot of the Text panel, Timeline, and Program Monitor would help.

Fascinating! I cannot make it happen, but here is what I think you are seeing.
At first glance everything looks perfect: You are using the default "Follow active monitor," and are in Source transcript view. Your "automatically mark in/out" is set to ON. The little grey box is hard to see, but it is there.
You have text selected in the transcript and you are not in EDIT mode.
You are in a workspace (of your own creation, yes?) where we can see both the Source and Program Monitors.
The Source Monitor should show the in/out points per your selection. But it does not. But the playhead is at the very far left and shows a time of 4:07. We can see half of the playhead indicator (as happens when it is on the far left) and we can see a thin blue line sticking up. I think that is the out point indicator. Since the in/out duration on the right shows 1:09, I think "It's going pretty great" starts at about 3 seconds, and ends at the playhead 4:09.
But I can't make that happen by moving the bar and then selecting, etc. As soon as I select something, the timeline scrolls to show the in/out points being set. And turning off autoscroll in the Transcribe tab makes no difference. I can move the bar after setting the in/out, and hide them, but I can't get that to happen on its own.
And even if they are not showing, The insert button works to insert the marked section.
Try dragging the navigation bar to show the entire Source Monitor timeline. Let us know if that helps, or doesn't.
Regarding the workspace showing both Source and Program monitor, the initial staff tutorial used such a workspace. I liked it and recommended keeping it as an option. I create one as a custom Workspace. It think it streamlines workflow when you are using 3-point editing especially.
