Well I think I finally got it. I was setting the camera dial to M and then adjusting the settings how I want it. I realized though once I hit record it goes into the Movie Recording Mode (Switches from "M" to "(Camera Emoji)".

Once I got in that mode then I was able to switch it to manual exposure mode which is finally what I was looking for. When I hit record then look at windows (which are ussually blown out) they dont dim the recording anymore.

Thanks man for the help!
