Laptop not charging unless turned on and running

recently switched to zorin os 17.2 from windows 10 on my old razer blade stealth 12.5 (late 2016 model) and has actually made my laptop usable again which im super stoked for, but as the tittle says my laptop will only charge when turned on and running. this was not an issue when i was using windows and has started the moment zorin was installed. it wont even charge when the laptop is just closed sleeping only when open and actually running the desktop. if anyone has any ideas on how to get it to actually charge some help would be greatly appreciated!

laptop specs
i7-6500U
8GB ddr3
intel hd 520 graphics
512GB SSD (PCIe M.2)

I have just doe a websearch of "razer blade stealth 12.5 not charging Ubuntu 22.04", but only found unresolved battery charging issues and not your model 12.5.

I wonder if windows (drivers) are somehow hanging on to the hardware. Did you turn off Fast Start-Up under Windows Power Settings?

Do you still have Windows and able to do that.

never touched any fast start settings in windows and i do not have windows on the laptop at all anymore. wiped the drive before installing zorin

Is Fast Boot still enabled in the BIOS?

it is not, should it be?

No, fast boot is what was used to boot windows faster, the hard drive never really turned off.
