i have the the atmosphere set to true for directional light, but no matter what i try the directional light wont control the location of the sun like it does in the online learning videos

The sky sphere blueprint has a “light source” (or maybe “directional light”) property, where you have to select the directional light actor you want to sync up.
E g, the connection is in the sky sphere blueprint, not in the light!

well found the blueprint no idea how to fix it though. it seems like it was already set to directional light but since ive deleted the original trying to follow the videos it seems like ill have to try and reset it somehow
update now it says editing this value in a class default object is not allowed so i cant set the variable to the new directional light object

You need to edit it in the blueprint instance in the level.
This works for me:

Click the sky sphere blueprint actor instance in the world browser.
Scroll to the “Directional Light” property.
Select your direction light actor instance in the popup menu.
Save.
