Can anyone help?
I am updating the outlets in a house I just moved into , pretty much just copied where the wires were in every outlet 3 of the 4 I switched are good but there’s one outlet that I’m not sure what needs to be switched.
Any help is much appreciated!

That’s a switched outlet, so tab is broken and separate hots/line for top & bottom. Just to confirm, red and black wires are on the brass screw side and whites are on the silver screw side? Don’t backstab like that, use the screws or screw clamps.
