All the pages need to be the same orientation - horizontal
Open the PDF as images, then rotate the vertical images to horizontal Image -> Transform -> Rotate
Then a choice, and for a beginner the safest might be save each image as a gimp xcf. Then, starting afresh, File -> Open as Layers all the .xcf files. That gets a stack of layers. Now Export as a PDF.
The other way is moving the images into a singe image as layers, Edit -> Copy Edit -> Paste Layer -> To New Layer or click and drag from tab to tab.
A quick 3 minute video of the process that might help https://youtu.be/8mBFaXf8o4U
That video (Re-Assemble an imported PDF) made all the difference. Thank you for taking the time for that. Still took me a while to figure out (Was dealing with 40+ pages so I ended up just using a few pages like the example to play around with it till I got the hang of it). I ended up cutting the layers and pasting them rather than copying and pasting since it was making it hard to keep track of which pages I had done already. Afterwards deleting the empty layers I cut from. Worked out very well.
Also appreciate the tip from Blighty and yourself on setting the resolution to 300 as well. I have been fretting over this for a few days and now finally can just start plugging away. Thank you guys so much !
