I want to change the topology but am unsure what to do in order to make the sub d flow evenly around the circle.
Thanks in advance
Actually you answered your question already within the header of the topic 
SubDiv only works well (or rather: gives the result youre looking for) if the distances (colored in my image) are equal - please compare the distances around your corner; they are extremly unequal and therefore it gives the “weired” result
Edit: so in order to clean up your topology, e.g. use support loops as I did in my image
Yeah I should have specified that I just wanted to find a way to make sure the topology was better
Thank you for the help!
Yes it did thank you! Also, just a quick question, I understand the distances are extremely inconsistent but how can I make it so that this loop cut and slide maintains the same distance or is that not a possiblity and i have to do it by hand?
Adding a new loop doesnt solve your problem - you should use knife tool in order to get the (approximate distances as I marked below). After that, ensure you only (or mostly) usw quads so subdiv has better outcome
