"Apply Default Settings" only applies to new tokens that are pulled out onto the VTT from the Journal tab; it will not adjust tokens already on the page. You need to check the tokens that are on the page and make sure the "Player Permissions" for each bar are unchecked: If you are unchecking those boxes and saving the settings, then reopening them and they are checked again, it means that you either have an API Script automatically adjusting your tokens (which means the game creator has a Pro subscription and has installed that script) or you are using 3rd-party browser extension tools. The "Token Bar Options" section is what determines what the bars look like for anyone who is able to view them (GM or players). If you as GM want to see the numbers instead of just a small bar, then you need to make sure that you have the style set to "Standard", not "Compact". The "Location" setting only affects where the bar is, but not whether it is larger with numbers (standard) or a smaller skinny bar without numbers (compact).
