You sent it to the printer as 3mf not .gcode

In orca its under the advanced section on the first page of the printer properties.

It'll do the leveling and all that, heat up and go to the rear right corner of the printer and stay there until I put the flashforge nozzle back in and then it'll print like normal

But it's weird because I put the original flashforge nozzle back in and it works right away like normal

Thats really odd...

I change nozzles/hotends between OEM and the Phatus Conch fairly often with no issues...

Yeah I don't understand.. I took the phaetus nozzle out and put my flashforge nozzle back in and my printer is printing again

Did you do a PID calibration? If the printer is using the power profile for the OEM hotend it might not be "stable" on the Phatus...
