I think you may have your source driver misconfigured as well.
"udp(ip(192.168.20.1) port(514));"

is 192.168.20.1 your router? If so the IP needs to be of the machine accepting the connection, not of the router. So if 192.168.20.2 were the syslog server, put that as the IP instead.

Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Syslogs from Router
that seemed to fix that issue now im getting an error that states can
not bind to that port, firewall is off. Think im gonna parse though the
routers source code and see if i can find the port it uses since the
documentation doesn't mention it. Thank you all for the help so far on
this issue.

 When I
tried to restart the service so it would read the configs I recieved the
error again, " syntax error in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf at line
68." new line but essentially the same error.
    
      
Isn't that line is the vim config line?
Could you add a # in front of it?
