My 24 word seed doesn't give me control

I think it could be that they are locked up in lightning channels and your seed phrase doesn’t suffice as a backup for those. You would need to have those channels closed and then they should be accessible by just the seed. I’m kind of guessing here, semi-educated guess

That’s assuming you don’t have a backup of your channels

I haveclosesd my channel in preparation of migrating my node. So no channels open.

An lnd seed is not the same as a bip39 seed. It's a different format.

It won't restore your channels though

No interested in restoring channels they've been closedd

Which mobile wallet can I use to import it into what type of seed is an lnd seed?

Bluewaller seemed to recognise it but only shows the lightning funding txn from months ago says I have 0 bal

For mobile Blixt is probably the best bet.
