So I’ve reinstalled and installed mongo multiple times, but it isn’t working.
sudo systemctl status mongod
● mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server

I can go into the mongo console.

Hello,
Do you see any errors in your MongoDB error log? You can check the log with the following command:
tail -f /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log
Usually, you could try and remove the lock file and restart the service which in some cases fixes the startup error:
sudo rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
mongod --repair
sudo systemctl start mongodb
Best,
Bobby
