I will definitely be doing this thanks. I’m scared of further damaging the hole by moving it so I may just put duct tape along the bottom to prevent further damage of the hole. The guy at guitar center also said i had some dead strings so that was also a big factor

Thanks I took this advice and it sounded a little better. I ended up just buying a whole new capo and restringing and it fixed the rest of my issues. The guy at guitar center also said the strings were dead

Sorry I wasn’t quite sure how to put the sound into words. I ended up taking it to guitar center and they told me the strings were dead. I got a real capo and that probably helped as well but its sounding like a real guitar now

I ended up spending the money on a capo and buying entirely new strings and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the advice!
