Anyone know how to make this go away and join normally? I've tried wall joins, different height walls, roof holes. Any help is greatly apprecieated.

It tends to be problematic at best. Try adjusting all nearby wall joins to 2" or so, then go into the adjust wall menu and choose to miter the siding on the two walls you want to work. While editing walls, uncheck clean up (though SP will think it is smarter and possibly clean them up anyway). If not successful, any other walls that die into that corner, but you don't want joining can have the wall join turned to 0" and adjusted to be close but not too snug to the corner in question. Also, if your design has outside corner trim, here's a great place to use a solid polygon instead and cover the corner if all else fails. Or, add a solid cube textured the same as your siding if totally frustrated.

put 2 very small intersecting chunks of  HIDDEN exterior wall atop those walls which contain the corners, deselect cleanup, then turn the corners OFF on the problem walls.  put those new hidden walls  on a hidden layer so you don't have to deal with them being in the way when drawing.

 

You could also create a "L" trim symbol from solids and use it if you'd like. (Marks last comment)

Move the lower roof edge 1/8th" in front of the upper wall. It's caused by the wall fitting to the wrong roof.
