Trying to make it so that players in my map can place builds on the top of the skyscrapers / sides of the skyscrapers without having to manually place things inside of the skyscraper that the builds can attach to. Specifically is there a setting that I can enable that will allow players to place builds on them?

Make a new blueprint of the building prop kind using the skyscrapers as the mesh. That will open up a whole lot of settings including the building relatable ones. You will need to replace all your existing skyscrapers with blueprint skyscapers, make sure you get your settings how you want them before you start duplicating the blueprint skyscraper.
