Server requires me to disable mods every time I join

[light ginkgo]

I am trying to play modded terraria and I cannot seem to get over half my mod list to work with the server. Everytime I join it makes me disable a bunch of mods to play. I have the same exact mods in my game and in the server. In my enabled.JSON file, only a few of my mods are enabled, and when I add the ones I dont want disabled to the list and save and restart the server, it just reverts back to the original file

Don't add when the server is running. It can roll back. Shut the server down and then add.

thats what i've been doing, i think some of the mods are corrupted.
