I just don’t have any idea where I should even start looking at to start looking for myself so if anyone can give me an idea I would appreciate it.

A blueprint solution would be best if possible.

I suggest using execute console command with “HighResShot 1920x1080” argument. It works in shipping build. Also, you could use BlueprintFileUtilities to get access to saved shots.
