I figured it out! I actually used the manual to find which node board the optos plug into. It's node board 9 and they plug into CN13 at the bottom of the board. Then I made sure all the wires that plug into that section were pushed in all the way. AND IT TOTALLY WORKED! Problem Solved!
I am a little bummed I bought opto boards for nothing. But problem solving on my own using the manual feels good. I feel like I leveled up with the pinball gods somewhere.
Anyway, thanks everyone for following me on this quick journey.
Cheers!
