Is there a way to apply the Game Settings to your add-ons? I setup everything in my Game Settings the way I wanted but when I uploaded the add-on it didnt apply any of the settings from my game settings. Is there a way to do that?

Wouldnt that just apply the default settings? I'm trying to apply my custom settings.
When you set your settings in the Campaign Details page you can force the elements of your game (with varying success) to adopt those settings by going into the game, selecting "My Settings", then "Miscellaneous", then "Apply Default Settings".
The "default" here is the settings you have set up to be the default settings.
Hmmm, it kind of worked. I have it setup so that Bar3(Red) is the HP but when I ran the Apply Default Settings it placed it in Bar1(Green).

double-check what you have under Campaign Details webpage > dropdown menu "Game Settings" > Game Default Settings. When you click "Game Default Settings" here a larger section of Options opens up. That section has its own Save button. A lot of times I change the settings but forget to press the proper Save button, so when I go back and look again, my intended Defaults were not saved afterall.
Double-check that, then do the Gauss method again. That should fix it.
Alternative approach, if that doesn't fix it, or just a whole different way to do it, since you have PRO you can use API Mods. The one called tokenmod can quickly resolve Bar-settings on massive collections of Tokens like this. It's going to be a lot more than 1 click, but it's really powerful and can save you much time compared to manually changing them one-by-one.
One other note, I have run into an issue where token changes are only being applied to the current page you are on. Make sure that isn't what is happening for you, or do it page by page.

Here is what my current settings look like, https://imgur.com/a/o2hsglm
And here is how the preset tokens changed, https://imgur.com/a/jOckFhU
The health should be in the red bar, but for some reason it went to green...

That group of settings only applies to Tokens when they are dragged from the compendium. Not tokens in the game.
This way tokens pulled from the compendium matches how you have your tokens set up in the game without you having to change them every time.
My suggestion:
Go to the NPC's character sheet, edit the token from there. Then hit "Apply Token Defaults" to all tokens in the game for the sheet. Repeat.
An issue you might be running into is default tokens. Default tokens are like a little file of settings that are unaffected by changing the settings page and applying new defaults. That process updates tokens placed on the table, but does not affect default tokens. Applying settings (and waiting for that thin, easy-to-miss progress bar to resolve will fix tokens on maps, or subsequent additions only. Dragging a creature from the compendium should obey the new settings if there is not already such a creature in the game. Otherwise, it will only place an instance of the default token for that character. This is intentional, to prevent a compendium drag from overwriting home brew changes.

Well damn, wish there was an option for apllying to the tokens on the map already, thanks anyways
My wall of text there might have been a little confusing. Tokens on maps should be affected. It's default tokens that are not.

TokenMod API "Mod" script could do this, but it has a Learning Curve.
Have you ever used any API Mods? As PRO you can
Gauss just reminded me which settings you were changing. I mis-spoke earlier. Changes made on the "Token Settings" section of the Settings Page will propagate to tokens placed onto the VTT. Changes made in the"Sheet Settings" section of the Settings Page will not. Those will only affect future compendium drags.
