Last Traded Bid/Ask on Chart DOM

I may have inadvertently changed one of the settings, but I cannot get the BID/ASK spread to show on the DOM/Ladder. I am only getting the current price (shown in white.) I have gone through all of the the settings, and the only time I have seen this working as expected when I had the "Current Traded Bid Volume (and ask). Then the last traded bid/ask prices were showing up, however, they were in separate columns flanking the price column and between the buy/sell columns.

I simply want to see the Bid/Ask spread in the columns (buy/sell)

We are not certain of what you want to see exactly as there are a number of ways to view the Best Bid/Ask, but refer to the following setting that we think is what you are looking for. Note that you need to select the "Enable" button to use this option:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Best Bid/Ask Box Background

If you are looking for something else, then we need more information on exactly what you it is.

For example, in this video, at 13:10, you can see the bid/ask spread displayed in the buy/sell columns. Currently, it is just a white bar showing the last price, on the price column (see image).

In the video that person does not have the Market Depth data so the Best Bid and Best Ask are showing as the single values. You have the same thing with your current DOM, even though you have the full Market Depth, where the lowest priced Ask is the Best Ask and the highest priced Bid is the Best Bid (values of 3 and 4 respectively in the image you attached).

I am attempting to get the bid/ask spread highlighted (see attached image), where

Bid: 2409.10
Last Price: 2408.90
Ask: 2408.80

In the video above, the colored bars that are moving above and below the price - that is what I am trying to do.
However, as shown in my DOM image in the prior post - it is just price (white) without the spread being highlighted.

From the video, if you are referring to the window on the left, that is not Sierra Chart. We do not see any spread information showing in the DOM on the right, which is Sierra Chart. And we do not think the most recent image you supplied is from Sierra Chart.

If you do not want to use the suggestion given in Post #2, then another option would be to add the "Bid & Ask Prices" study to the chart/DOM and set the subgraphs Draw Style to be "Subgraph Name and Value Labels Only", then turn on the "Value Labels" and set them to display in the "Right Side Values Scale". Refer to the following:
Bid & Ask Prices

Okay, THIS is what I am attempting to do.
I want my DOM (one the top) to look like the one on the bottom (PhotoShopped), where the current bid/ask spread is highlighted.

We do not have a way to highlight the Best Bid and Best Ask in the Bid/Ask columns.

There is an option to do this in the Recent Bid/Ask columns. Refer to the following:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Recent Bid Best Bid Background
