Accents appearing in the wrong spot
I just recently downloaded musescore and the first few charts I made, everything ran smoothly. While messing around with some controls, I hit clear in my palette not knowing its effect and so the sforzando symbol disappeared. I was able to retrieve it from the master palette and put it back in its original place, but now when I use the sforzando, it appears below the note I have selected instead of above. Before clearing, it appeared above the staff every time with no problems. How do I get it to permanently return to above the notes? I have already tried redownloading the musescore software to no avail. The style settings moved it up, but it did not stay consistent for all sforzandos.

You have made a custom palette or you could not clear the sforzando. To put the same one back, apply a sforzando from either the basic or advanced palette, the ctrl+shift+drag the same accent to your custom palette. This should fix it.

the accent from both the basic and advanced palettes are still appearing below the note, and the one from the master palette shows up directly on top of it.

That probably explains it. the MDL palette is a custom palette. Use one from a score that worked properly when you applied it from the MDL palette and try the ctrl+shift+drag to put it back. I'm trying to not have to uninstall and reinstall MDL if possible, but as a last resort that would most likely fix it. I don't use MDL myself so this is based upon my general knowledge.

I ended up redownloading MDL which fixed the problem. Thanks!

To be clear: the "usual" rule is that accents depend on stem direction, and that is why the default accents on the default palettes behave that way. But there is a special convention used in drum music to always place accents above, and that is why the MDL palette works that way.
