Why does my part selection look like this???

[BennyKerman]

Ok so i recently installed tons of mods and i noticed my autostrut and rigid attachment was sorted into “part” and there were other things like “control” where i needed to click it to modify its deployment and etc. i want to fix this because im an old fart and im too lazy to click “part” just to autostrut.

this is why you shouldn't ever just install "tons of mods" all at once.

Your best bet is to go through them one by one until you find the culprit.
