RSYSLOG UDP works but not SYSLOG TCP

rsyslog.conf was pettry mych default I just added *.* @@<destination_ip>:5155;GRAYLOG5424

And does the GRAYLOG5424 template exist?

Please refer to the syslog guide for details:

Graylog2/graylog-guide-syslog-linux/blob/master/README.md#rsyslog

The problem I was having was that I was making rsyslog and graylog listen for logs on the same port. Turns out if you turn off rsyslog from listening and just let graylog’s input rule listen for the messages it works as intended.

Well, yes. You want Graylog to ingest the messages and not rsyslog.
