Windows 10: My game captures arent the right size

My captures going through xbox game bar are leaving black borders around the recording. The video itself is significantly smaller than my actual screen size. Pretty much, I think the resolution is recording way smaller than it should be and I can't find the setting to change the recording resolution to my display resolution. My screenshot is showing "not found". I'm hoping thats an error on my end and not a problem that prevents it from being seen.
