Grids Not Being Used by Style

[SSBRen]

I noticed that when I changed my grid "sidebar location" from right to left that not every stylesheet picked up that change. Some continue to show the sidebar on the right while others are correctly picking up that change. When I updated the style on one of my downloaded styles that wasn't working, it started working correctly. However, I also have some very customized styles that I'll need to update by myself. Does anyone know what variable would control or interfere with a style's ability to hook into the grid settings?

edit: found the problem.
