When i said I put them in my custom folder I was meaning for the alternative route that some people told me to try, as of now they are in my cfg folder and nothing is working still, but for now I am going to try the custom folder route that was mentioned above, thanks for the help.

My cfg folder contains class files, graphics settings files, other handy files I can do exec with in game, but the most important for me are the class files, (engineer.cfg, heavyweapons.cfg,etc...) I have deleted the files and made entirely new files, I have moved these files to custom, nothing works. The same goes for my autoexec file, if anyone has a fix for this annoying issue I would greatly appreciate it.
