[I have my UI up and a running but can seem to create or register ETH keys]

[I managed to make a working config and I'm using endpoints from Infura, i made sure I'm on the main-net so i can make my node a working one.I have good OCR, OCR2, and P2P keys but can't register my evm chains key. Here is a copy of my commands and their results. as well as how my config is set up.]

Additional Information
I've used chatgpt to try and help me create keys and it walks me through this loop of trying to change my config back and forth. i almost thing i have something wrong with my version or how i set up my config file. Once i figure out my chainID not registering issue i can officially start trying to run my chainlink node.
