Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use your Unarmed Strike and Monk weapons, which are the following:
Simple Melee weapons
Martial Melee weapons that have the Light property
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only Monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a Shield.
A Monk using a Scimitar meets the requirements for the Martial Arts class feature. However on my character sheet, although it acknowledges the Martial Arts underneath the Action, it only applies my ability modifier but not my proficiency modifier on my attack roll.
The quote above is from the 5.5e Monk, but are you perhaps using the 5e Monk on your sheet? A 5e Monk (correctly) wouldn’t have proficiency with scimitars.
If you are using a 5.5e Monk, could you share a link to your sheet? Please make sure their Character Privacy setting is set to Public, too.
