Not all missing assignments are receiving a zero grade

[DanaHarmon]

I have used the built in tool to change all missing assignments to zero grades, however, the assignments that are made through external tools are not showing as missing and therefore not automatically graded with a zero. Does anyone know how to fix this?

@DanaHarmon I'm sorry to say that this is the documented behavior of the Missing Submissions Policy. According to the guide How do I apply a Missing Submission policy in the Gradebook? :

The Missing Submission policy will not be automatically applied to No Submission, On Paper, or External Tool assignments with the exception of New Quizzes quizzes. However, a Missing label can be added in the Grade Detail Tray.
