    To resolve my issue I ended up doing:

    wsl --shutdown in Powershell

    Upon reopening Ubuntu and running code . it opened to the default distro set on wsl

    code --set remote.WSL.defaultDistribution your_desired_distro_name

    Replace "your_desired_distro_name" with your desired distro name.
