Did you bench test the sprag clutch that it would turn counterclockwise smoothly but not the other way around?
Starting clutch issue/questions
So I got my friends 250 that I’m working on, after taking the cover off I noticed the gear that turns the motor spins both ways making me think the one way clutch bearing inside is toast, I got another one off eBay claiming it came off a running bike that was wrecked but when I installed it the gear would spin a little then just seize up until I wiggled it around, I was looking at the actual bearing pieces on both bearings and they looked like the pieces that catch the gear are in different directions then the other, my question is 1 is there a certain way the actual bearing pieces are supposed to face, 2 is there any way I can maybe fix the old bearing clutch, and 3 are both these pieces just fu(ked. Not sure if I can post a vid since the file is to large

NOT likely. According to what you say, the last one you purchased is fine. You claim that after the catch it doesn't release, mmm...I suggest you check it after full assembly.
Check the Out diameter of the gear (51.685mm MIN), maybe it needs to be replaced as well.
And Yes, the direction of assembly is important.
If I'm guessing right then it's like the diagram below, that's my guess.
Feel free to check if I'm right.
