I'm no where near like other riders here yet, but do you guys think I should have set the rebound on the suspension on a lower setting? It was maxed out when I hit those drops

Yes slow down the rebound. That pogo stick effect is never fun!
Start in the middle of the adjustment, not at either end! You need a lot more rebound dampening. When you say fully maxed out, it looks like it’s fully open, not dampened.
While you’re learning, adding dampening (slowing the rebound) will help a lot.
Did you bottom out too? Might be worth checking your sag to see if you’re sitting in the right range. Having too much air basically increases the “spring rate” of your suspension which can also contribute to bounces.
