Not Rotating around pivot points

HI, I'm having trouble making a 2D animation in unity. in short, the objects won't rotate around the pivot points set in the sprite editor. (i checked the sprite editor and the pivot points are still in their custom position.) they used to, I already made a couple animations when they worked. Instead, they're rotating around the center.

As far as i can tell there is nothing different between the old animations and the one i am currently trying to make other than that i moved all my files to a different computer. the data should still all be the same.

they also don't rotate properly in the scene view.
the transform position changes as it rotates to match where the actual pivot point is.

thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong place for this.
