I’m not sure what the problem is and what i should try next. It connects fine on Octoprint and i can print with the GFX plugin in octoprint. But i can’t get it flashed to klipper.

  1. Verify what chip this board actually has
  2. With this refer to Bootloaders - Klipper documentation → Your board might not have a bootloader

Its an Atmega1280. Its on the list but im not sure what to do with that information?

Follow Bootloaders.html#atmega1280

The Replicator2 requires -b 57600 and -c stk500v1 in order to flash. Give those a try and see if you can get farther. Also add a -v to get more output.

Those results look to be the same as I was getting on my rep2 until I sorted this out.

I see the cfg file you pointed to has -b 57600 (but -c stk500v2) in it so most likely they are using the same 8U2 code. Pretty sure that will get you going.
