Since I resolved the issue, I am going to close this topic.
So I ended up using the widgets in the footer. I used widget logic, and put this conditional in the footer widgets widget logic space :
is_front_page()
That way, the footer widgets only show up on the home page. I’ll put a link to the site I’m working on below.

Hope that helps out anyone encountering the same problem!
Thanks! I’ll try out the plugin. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. And I will get back with what I ended up doing.
