I used systemctl to enable gdm.service with no problem but when i asked it to start. it just kept making my monitors turn on and off repetitively

After enabling gdm did you got an output where gdm.service is linked to the displaymanager.service?
Did you reboot after enabling? That is normally the proper way to get the displaymanager started.

Re: Redacted

In your xorg.config, is this a typo?

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 110.0
    VertRefresh     50.0 - 150.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 110.0
    VertRefresh     50.0 - 150.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

if not, you never specified Monitor1.

Re: Redacted

Where did you find 'nvidia-xconfig --twinview'? It is not listed in the nvidia-xconfig man page. The options described there which would be suitable are:
--xinerama
--separate-x-screens
--x-screens-per-gpu=<quantity>

Re: Redacted

If you run startx and don't have a .xinitrc in your home directory it will use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. It seems not to read the xorg.config.

Edit:Which brings up the next question: what if you would remove/delete your xorg.config, and try it first with one monitor?
        If this is working properly you can go on configuring the second monitor.
         Running startx with twm,xterm and xclock is the testcase to see if X is working, and it seems to work.
