I ended up removing them completely, built 1 more with industry so it created the sector, and then added the others back with sm mode. Still running on the old db for now, otherwise spending too much time to setup vs play per patch. A good problem to have when you only have an hour or two per day to play and the patches are coming out this fast. None of the bugs I've run into are game breaking (yet).
However, next sector question. I can't seem to find a way to change the color of the sectors for the galactic map like you could before.
