Monitor is super dull without HDR and with HDR recordings are awful, Nitro VG0 23.8

I have the Acer Nitro VG0 23.8" Full HD IPS 165Hz Monitor (x2).

When I activate HDR the screen looks great but when I stream on anywhere (discord, obs) or even record (Radeon ReLive) the quality of the video is awful , dark and gloomy.
To try and circumvent this I turn HDR off but then my monitors are super dull and unsaturated with light blacks and such (although recording like this looks good). I tried to fix this by increasing the gamma, saturation and adjusting colour settings but nothing can help it compete. One monitor is running on HDMI and the other on DisplayPort and both are working the same.

I've even tried adjusting recordings in post but they never look as good.
Is there any way for me to use HDR and also record and stream in good quality?

Try calibrating the monitor. Search for HDR in Cortana:

unfortunately not, the closest thing is the pixel format and that does nothing :

by the way I have custom colour on for white balance as normally my screen is too warm, turning this off does not affect any recording or hdr.

I don't have that option. Also I just found out my monitor is HDR10 and that sucks and is probably the reason for this but this still doesn't explain why i cant record or stream with the colours I am seeing on my screen
