That file that I couldn’t find is in fact located in ~/Library/Containers. Tuesday support finally got back to me and had a solution that does in fact work. I finally ended up just creating another user profile and fixing the issue that way (which sucked but I was due a format / reinstall anyway so I went ahead and did that while I was at it). I told the guy in support this was the case and didn’t hear back from him because of the long weekend.
