Having problems with shadows and lighting

I have no idea why my shadows are coming out like poop. This is just one example, but long story short I’ve been looking up any prompt that could help with my issue, changing what feels like every setting I can (I know that’s a little exaggerated but still). I’m fairly new with UE5, so I’m looking up tutorials to help me get started, but I can’t help but notice that the lighting in my project compared to the one I’m looking at looks like poop. Which is weird because I’ve followed every step, and before this issue arouse, I didn’t touch a single setting that wasn’t shown to me.
I don’t have crazy balls to the walls specs but I’m running a 3090 along with some other high end stuff, so I feel like it’s not a crazy difference between specs that’s causing the problem.

Sidenote: Source Angle and Indirect lighting also just don’t work at all
