Update:

Still having issues after adding all the nodes, but definitely see an increase in connections to the network.

Was about to get much better connection after changing listen=0 to listen=1 in the transfer.conf file. You may be able to add it to your transfer.conf if it's not already there.

Also, learned that if your wallet is encrypted your masternodes will not start until you unlock your wallet for staking. Staking will not work unless unlocking your wallet 2 or 3 times.
