I figured it out and thought I would post in case someone else has the same issue in the future. Apparently to pull options contract data from IB, the options symbol requires the "Last Trading Date", not the expiration date. So for SPY, the Last Trading Date is the same as the Expiration Date, however for SPX it is not. You may want to confirm this from IB and update your symbol guide. Thanks for your help
