Question How to use a new cable tester?

You should forget the two that report mesh. Then disable wireless mesh globally. Then reconnect the other two. Then readopt them. That should prevent them from mesh uplink.

I'll give that a try on the weekend. I've done that before and messed up the whole system for days.

Do you have any non-UniFI switches? That could be what is messing up the connectivity.

I don't have any unifi switches, but I have three switches. Two new that are one brand, and one older that is a different brand.

Can you tell me more about this. This is something for me to look at that I've never heard before.

Non-UniFI switches confuse the network management app. If you are using the topology view to determine the wireless uplink, then the management app may be misleading you. If you look at the UniFI devices view, what does the uplink column for the APs show?
With non-UniFI switches, it is quite possible you have no connectivity issue, but the management app is not able to correctly interpret your connectivity.
