I believe I found the issue. The knob was not getting pushed down far enough, I was messing with the knob trying to recreate how I got it to work and pushed down a little harder on the knob, felt a click and it worked stayed lit. I worked the the knob a few more times shutting it off and then lighting again and then let it sit to cool completely down a couple of times and light it again and it works every time now. The valve was a little sticky but seems to be working freely now and lights every time.
Thanks for all the suggestions, if it starts happening again I will just replace that valve.
