I had already changed the tab size to 2, but I think the issue was my tabs translating to spaces int he preferences was turned off. I updated it and converted doc to all spaces. Hoping this should resolve everything for future assignments. Thanks for the help on this. 

    // The number of spaces a tab is considered equal to
    "tab_size": 2,

    // Set to true to insert spaces when tab is pressed
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
