I cant seem to figure this out, but when I place a buy stop or a sell stop order it shows a different price in parenthesis than where the order is placed. I can't figure out what the price in the parentheses stands for...can you please let me know. I attached two pictures, one is showing from the DOM and the other is from the chart. Thank you for your help.

That order is a "Stop-Limit", not a Stop. Therefore, the price in Parentheses is the price at which the Limit will be placed when the Stop is reached. Refer to the information here:
Order Types: Stop-Limit
