does the server need to be restarted after you change config files?
im going to get rid of all the auto team balancing for now
we have the regular team balancing going, as well as beetlesmod team balancing, somehow they are conflicting with each other or not working properly, because it isnt letting people join a specific team when its 1v1, or letting people switch from an unbalanced team to the other, etc from 5v2 to make it 4v3

no idea where to start to try and figure out why we arent showing up on server lists, unless we are and just no one is joining/we cant see it

Yes.
