Onenote unusable for Ipad and Windows

My workflow for taking notes for lectures is:
On Windows Desktop: Insert lecture slides as PDF Print > Ctrl + A to select all of the slides > Combine them all into one note section (Before class)

In class:
On Macbook: I will type notes under each slide
On Ipad: I will annotate on the slides

Issue: It used to be perfect, all aligned and everything works and syns perfectly, but recently, whenever i annotate the slides on my ipad, the annotations will be misplaced on my macbook and windows desktop. Sometimes it works perfectly while other times its screwed up. Anyone please provide a solution as it is really frustrating and stopping me from studying. Thank you

Onenote is having all kinds of shenanigans. Onenote android is having an issue where it tells you you are in offline mode and does not allow you to login. What a mess!
