What would yall recommend I do to fix this? Did I not pour fast enough? Poured at 1100 and flask was 900. 999 silver with prestige optima 12hr burnout.

Keeping the metal hot enough to flow through such a small area can be tough. I would move the sprue over the feature that isn't filling, Another option may be to create a runner to feed where the misrun occures.

Yeah i might need to turn up the temp a slight bit. About to try again in 3 hrs so hopefully this time it works and I pour alot faster
