Can't mark my instrument on the upload page
So this is my first time uploading a score, and I made an awesome tuba solo. I marked it as a solo, not knowing what else to do but it keeps saying it is for a piano and I can't find how to mark it as a solo tuba.

If you look the music is marked as piano music

I see "For Solo (instrumental or vocal part)" at the top, but further down: "Part names Piano"
And sure enough, if I open it in MuseScore the partname is Piano. And looking at mixer reveals: pianos, 11 of them!
How the heck did you do that?
Ah, IntrumentChane Text...
Try the attached instead

You probably started with a bass clef rather than choose an instrument. This defaults to Piano. You can right click the staff, select staff properties then click the change instruments button and change the instrument to a Tuba. The mixer allows you to use any sound you want, but does not change the actual instrument MuseScore thinks it is playing.

This score is indeed for piano - you can see this if you right-click the staff and choose Staff Properties. I also see it if I go the Mixer. Actually, it looks like you've got a whole bunch of instruments, and the are all piano.
Looks like you started with a score for piano (maybe the default empty score) and then added "Instrument" text elements all over the place - these are for changing instrument mid-score, not changing the basic instrument for the piece, or for adding song titles. Better to create the score for tuba in the first place (select it in the wizard when creating a new score with File / New), but if you do start with a piano score as you did, be sure you use Change Instrument (same Staff Properties dialog). And then if you want to add text for new titles, use Staff Text, not Instrument changes.
