iPhone video sounds compressed when put into any editing software

I have a weird problem that no matter the research and help on google i did, I could not find a solution that worked.

I am a social media manager for a brand and i film and edit content all the time so it is very odd that this issue is all of a sudden happening to me. I filmed an ad for my work's social media on my 16 pro max and when I playback the video on my photos app the audio sounds fine.

The problem is when I put the video into ANY editing software all of a sudden the video sounds heavily compressed.

I tried on Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Edits and they all do the same thing. I tried converting to an mp4 on my computer, modifying the audio channels on premiere pro, and using handbrake to change bitrate and sample rate and frame rate but nothing is working.

Google is telling me it could be the Spatial Audio being selected over stereo in the camera settings but i've recorded videos on my phone with this setting for over a year and i've never had an issue.

Reddit PLEASE HELP, you are my last hope.
