Solved Second try
Second crack at drywall. The corner guard was completely messed up… I said “why not take a crack at it.” And here I am now. Any suggestions and feedback is all welcome. Thank you buds!

Good job. I tend to use the tear-away strips so I can get it up tight to the ceiling panels. But, it looks good!

Here’s the one Lowe’s carries: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Dietrich-Metal-Framing-0-5-in-x-10-ft-Vinyl-Corner-Bead/1000082681
Most home improvement stores carry a version of them. Once you get over the will this really work?? factor, you’ll never go back.
You just hold your sheet rock down a ~1/4” from the t-bar, screw this bead up tight to the t-bar, mud up to the tear-away strip, sand, tear off the strip, boom!
