I've tried a lot of different things. Assigning the array elements just in the editor. Assigning the elements on boot using the Await(). Changing what script calls the functions. What GameObject has the attached script. How the Vector2 is called. How the array is initialized. I can't figure out what I'm missing.

leftSwitchSpawns = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("LeftSpawns");

The specific error is
IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. GameRules.RandomLeft () (at Assets/Scripts/GameRules.cs:28) GameRules.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/GameRules.cs:20)
But if you look at the debug statements. At initial runtime the array is full with a length of 7, Gives you the indexes of each point. and then it runs again for some reason with a length and index of 0. Then the error shows up.
