I made a spell that was supposed to be in the third level slot with no scaling, but dnd beyond keeps pushing it up to higher levels.

spell is suppose to be in the third level slot but when leveled up to level seven, it went into the fourth level slot

Because any character can use higher slots to cast lower spells. Even if the spell won't gain any extra benefits, you can still do it.

Chapter 10, Spellcasting.

Casting a Spell at a Higher Level

When a spellcaster casts a spell using a slot that is of a higher level than the spell, the spell assumes the higher level for that casting. For instance, if Umara casts magic missile using one of her 2nd-level slots, that magic missile is 2nd level. Effectively, the spell expands to fill the slot it is put into.

Some spells, such as magic missile and cure wounds, have more powerful effects when cast at a higher level, as detailed in a spell’s description.
