UESTRPG Player vs NPC Character Sheet Issues

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area, and this will get longwinded, but here goes. If this was done incorrectly or improperly, I apologize. I'm a player in two different campaigns my friends are running. One is with the unofficial elder scrolls game. Everyone already knows that the character sheet for that game is completely broken. However, I was able to more or less fix the character sheet for myself. I did this by looking at the attributes tab and noticing there was almost nothing there. So, I went into the same tab for my other character in the normal dnd 5e game I'm in and checking out what was entered there that made the character sheet functional. I then manually copied each entry into the elder scrolls character sheet, one by one. It was tedious, but the result was a mostly-functioning character sheet. The only downside was that I had to manually adjust all the numbers for a level up myself, and it wasn't compendium compatible. Also, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get spells or attacks to function, so I still have to manually roll those. But skill checks, saving throws, etc. all function. I explained all of that in case someone else is interested in doing the same for their own game, but here's my issue: In the elder scrolls game, for my character sheet, there is always a glitched out and compressed NPC character sheet above the actual character sheet. By clicking the cog wheel in the upper mid-right of the screen, it becomes this: I have no idea how specifically I was able to get the character sheet to function to begin with, or rather why what I did actually worked, and I don't expect the sheet itself to be totally officially fixed or fixable. However, the fact that I got it working to the extent that I did makes me think there's something I can do on my end to fix the other issues with it for myself, I just don't know or understand how. If anybody knows what I could try to do to get rid of that strange npc sheet, I would greatly appreciate it.
It should also be noted that in that npc sheet shown, it does not correlate to my actual character sheet in any way, those are a specific monster's stats.

I have no idea if this will actually work, but here is a harebrained scheme to try. CAUTION: Do this on a copy of your game!!! When copying the game, choose the official 5e sheet. Open the game, open and close a few characters. Then copy that copy, but switch the second copy back to the Elder Scrolls sheet. It is possible that the first copy will add the needed fields to the sheets. With Lazy Loading, I'm not sure if a sheet will need to be opened and closed manually to update. Check those characters first to see if they function. If this works, you might be able to build new things in the resulting game without having to resort to such draconian measures. But let's see if that works, then I have some ideas about moving forward.
Thank you for the quick response, that was unexpected. I already had a test game made so I wouldn't mess up my character sheet while tinkering with this, so I made a copy of that with the official 5e sheet set, then created a couple character sheets, opted to edit the sheet directly, then copied the game and set it to the elder scrolls sheet. What I noticed is that the transferred characters had information entered into the attributes, but the npc sheet was still shown above, and the sheet itself functioned no differently than before. I also checked to see what would happen by creating a new character in this final copy, and the result was that the attributes tab had absolutely nothing entered. The normal elder scrolls sheet at least usually had one entry, but this had none. Honestly, this is pretty interesting, even if I understand none of it. Please let me know if there's anything else you want me to try.

I think there's nothing you can do about the display issue, other than contact the creator of the sheet and see if they can fix it. According to the repository, the creator is  EnricoDandolo, . You could try a PM there. If that gets no response (they don't appear to be very active), you could try posting in the sheet requests thread and explain the specific problems with the sheet. They might be easily fixed by someone with the right know-how.
Thank you for the help, I'll give that a shot. It's not the end of the world if I can't get it fixed, I just figured I'd give it a shot.
