I have 2 channels setup within my account. Is there a way to choose the channel while setting up the api?

Yes, the feature is called brand accounts. Further described here.

I was able to get the onBehalfOfUser value and add it to header.json.

"onBehalfOfUser": "123456789123456789123"

However, it does not seem to be using the channel/brand account and is using the parent account instead.

You're supposed to pass it to YTMusic(user=1234567). Not sure how that'd work with the project you're using.
