hello! I've got a level 6 Rogue with a Whip+2 and I can't figure out how to get it to use my character's dex mod instead of his str. I've tried looking in other threads for a solution but just refreshing the page or clearing my cache or anything like that doesn't fix it. Any insight would be appreciated

It's not that it's not using your Dexterity; it's that you're not proficient with whips (Rogues generally aren't) so it's not adding your proficiency bonus to the attack roll.
Without proficiency, your attack modifier with the whip is your Dexterity modifier (+3) plus the whip's magic bonus (+2) for a total of +5, which is correctly displayed on the character sheet.
