I have an issue where the far left 12/2 coming from the circuit has been used to power a dimmer switch to a light
Carry power from light to another light
The second light is controlled by another switch at the end of the run.
Issue – if 1st switch is off, the 2nd light will work from its switch. If 1st switch is on, the 2nd light wont work at all from its switch
Based on the diagram is there anyway to fix this issue without current wiring setup?
You bought a 3 way switch. This is not a three way switch circuit. Return it for a proper one way dimmer switch. I have always found the "all-purpose just cap of the extras" type of components to be sketchy.
I ended up playing with the wiring for a couple more hours and this is what I needed:
To be clear, I just wanted two switches that controlled two separate lights, and off of those wires I wanted to create an outlet/receptacle that was always on, regardless of switches. The diagram above accomplishes this.

To have two switches/dimmer controlling two lights independently with the wiring we know you have:
The notation should be clear using your method, but if not, ask away.
