RVIZ Nav Goal Path Plan Not Changing

Hello, when I go to set a nav goal, the path that is planned does not change to the 2D point that I would like. Instead, it stays to the same path, resulting in the robot going back and forth between points regardless of the set goal. I am using a robot interface that operates using the normal navigation stack (I thought the navigation stack somehow used a different path planner from someone else tinkering with the robot, but that was not the case).

Ex. I have already mapped the room out and can see using the points in Rviz where my Lidar is picking up everything. When I go to set a 2d navigation goal, it seems like it is driving to a point that is near it. When I set another one, it drives to a point much different. When I checked the planned path, the path does not change (it stays at a straight line between the two previous, seemingly random points) no matter what the navigation goal is set to be. The built in navigation works perfectly, as if I stand in front of it between the two points it will create its own path around me, but without changing the path planned in RVIZ.

I understand this is a vague issue, but the path planner seems to be intact from what the code is showing. Would anyone be willing to share an idea on how this might be fixed?
