I would install Tor using official Tor project repository..
Discussion
How do I start over from the beginning? I feel like I might have made mistakes that is messing it up.
You mean to start over with Tor installation or node?
Tor installation
Ok, execute
sudo apt install apt-transport-https
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -sc) main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor-project.list'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install tor
