I was watching your stream and I'm pretty sure it has to do with your bitrate. idk how to fix it though

Bitrate is way too high since the max is supposed to be 3500. Anything above that is supposed to be excess and not making the stream better. Not sure if this'll fix your issue but it's something noteworthy.
edit: I suggest watching one of those stream setup videos just in case you have any settings that aren't optimal.

it was at 3500 at the beginning of the stream. people keep on telling me it's a bitrate issue so i bumped it up to 5k. It clearly labels on OBS the limit of the streaming service.

conventional wisdom would say it has to do with bitrate, but you said have yours set to ~3500. make a post on the OBS forums with your OBS logs

FireDisable downscaling, thats the only thing I see that might lower your quality.

also tried this, I tried streaming 1080p 60fps as well. Going to take jodd's advice and see what kind of results I find.

Even OBS tells you that 3500 is the max for twitch and that it's running at 3500, not 5000, so that setting did nothing at all.

Higher resolution and/or framerate need a higher bitrate, which you can't provide, so 1080p 60fps will only make things worse.

Either lower the resolution/framerate or use a slower CPU preset.

Also according to twitch your stream ran at 12fps. Are you sure you're not dropping frames/getting throttled/getting packet loss?
