Ofnuts post solved it for you 

---------------------

An old script that might help you sometime. It will scale a layer up or down to fit into a selection. But...aspect ratio is preserved. The scaled layer is centered in the selection.  example: https://i.imgur.com/2yGTQWY.jpg

Unpack the zip. Put sg-layer-fit-in-selection.scm in  C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts

Thank you for this map out ღ( ´･ᴗ･` )

Lol I'll retype from before, basically my excitement over it making the trick work and thank you to ofnuts. And that I was doing Scale Layer by right clicking directly on the layer in the layer menu, but yes same difference as it'd be with the top menu route of Layer>Scale Layer. And mentioning that I make sure to press the chain link before entering the number, as it adjusts instantly when chained.
