If anyone viewing has a similar issue, we talked it over over discord and came up with this solution:

Comments are there explaining what each bit of code does, but comment if you need anymore explanation.

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") --allows us to use datastores
02local epicnessDatastore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("EpicnessDatastore") --our datastore for saving the epicness value
03 
04 
05--onPlayerJoin runs whenever the player joins the game.
06function onPlayerJoin(player)
07    --creates an `epicness` intvalue for each player in the leaderboards. 
08    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
09    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
10    leaderstats.Parent = player
11 
12    local Epicness = Instance.new("IntValue")
13    Epicness.Name = "Epicness"
14    Epicness.Value = 0
15    Epicness.Parent = leaderstats
16 
17    --get player's epicness value from the epicnessDatastore.
18    --what pcall does is stop the script from erroring, 
19    --the epicness variable is the value that we got from the datastore, 
20    --and success determines if the function ran without errors (true if no errors, false if it errors)
21    local success, epicness = pcall(function()
22        return epicnessDatastore:GetAsync(player.UserId) --get the data for the player
23    end)
24 
25    --if the player  has epicness value from the datastore, theyve played before, so change their epicness value on the leaderboard 
26    --to be the value we got from datastore
27    if epicness then
28      player.leaderstats.Epicness.Value = epicness
29    end
30end
31 
32function onPlayerRemoving(player)
33     print(player.Name .. " has left the game!")
34 
35    --save the player's data when they leave the game
36    local success, err = pcall(function()
37        epicnessDatastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Epicness.Value) --this line of code saves the player's epicness to the epicness datastore, 
38    end)
39end

Assuming you already have a leaderstats, add something like this to it.

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
02    local epicness = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
03    epicness.Name = "Epicness"
04 
05 
06    epicness.Value = NameOfYourDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
07    NameOfYourDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, epicness.Value)
08 
09    epicness.Changed:connect(function()
10        NameOfYourDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, epicness.Value)
11end)

I need help i want this leaderstat value "epicness" to be saved can anyone show me how?
