So Im a little confused about why my collective is broken and how to fix it. I have a control 4 that has one command bus receiving power and the other has a terminator. Then there is a XS that has a command bus with power and then a 50ft data cable going to another XS in another room. That XS has power and the data cable plugged into its command ports. What should i be doing differently?

Someone can confirm this but From the photos it looks like the control 4 is not connected to the 2 XS units as you have power supply cable and a terminator.
For your setup I believe you want all 3 units in your collective correct? If so, I would get the power supplies with a built in terminator (unless you already are using one) for the control 4 and the farther XS. Then run a (power & data) command bus cable from the Control 4 to the XS that is close to the Control 4. Then run your 50 foot data cable from that XS to the other XS unit. Then add power from the power supply to the far XS.
In this configuration you will not use the terminator as each power supply will have the terminator built in. Once you have the wiring setup you should be able to follow the instructions for the collective.
Not sure how you identify? I’m sure Coralvue will help you if you provide the model power supply you have!
