I am a little unsure why my text in my text frame is not aligning to the top of the textbox.

I tried removing the spacing before the paragraph and using the top align vertical alignment, but it still doesn't seem to be working?

With Publisher, you might check the Baseline Grid settings. Also, in the Text Frame panel, check the various Insets.

I am going to guess that it may be caused by the diamond shaped 1 on the first line.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

You have created the list differently from what is shown in the screenshot below, but disregarding how the bullet character is bound to the list, it is the text frame setting "Initial Advance" that determines where in the text frame the top row will start. The "Fixed" setting lets you specify  an absolute distance so that the bullet character can exceed the frame edge, making it possible to align the first line of actual text to the top of the frame:

Thanks, that was what was causing it!
