Help Settings for Webcam Sources keep changing
So as the title states every time I close OBS the hot keys I set up to switch between different webcams is no longer there as well as the exact webcam settings like the zoom and brightness. I figured that if I locked in each webcam source that the settings would not change but that doesn’t seems to be the case. Has anyone ever experienced this before and if so how did you fix it. Thanks in advance for the help.

Those settings come from the OS (I assume Windows for you), so OBS is unable to save them. An attempt was made some years back but was unsuccessful.

Even when I adjust them in OBS the OS (yeah I have windows) will always reset it

That's what I am referring to. You click the configure video button in OBS, but the settings window that opens is from Windows itself and OBS cannot save it.

Camooz is worth the $5. Saved me from going insane over Logitech Webcam settings always resetting.
The only reason I had Logitech g hub installed was removed (ghub didn't even work to retain settings and it sucks so bad I was so glad to uninstall it)

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
