I read the previous posts about this, tried the unload, reload / uninstall reinstall and this plugin is still overwriting the setting file every single time. It was fine between wipes but that last post wipe update on Monday borked it I guess, and it's just constantly updating back to default. I've checked with the json validator and our setting file is fine.

I'm really new to hosting, we're using gtxgaming rcon. Perhaps I just didn't do the reload/reinstall properly so please explain in step by step detail how I can fix this.

If the configuration is being reset, it isn't being edited right. Make sure that your changes produce a valid .json file and that you follow the default configuration format.
