You probalby forgot something to do at the fort. Look at your quest log.

Nope didnt forget anything at the fort my quest says I have the chip but it just isnt in my inventory so I cant use it.

Did you upgrade the securitrons or no? You need the chip to get into the vault and upgrade them... Usually the bug happens if you go talk to Mr. House before upgrading the securitrons.

Either way, you can use console commands to get another chip (pressing the '~' key opens the console), using the console command "player.additem 1164fb 1" (without quotation marks).

Just make sure you save and exit the game entirely after using console commands, otherwise achievements will be disabled.

I upgraded the securitrons on the strip but haven't got into the bunker because the option doesnt show on the console.

To upgrade the Securitrons, you need to enter the bunker, but you are saying you haven't entered the bunker but you already upgraded the Securitons. I don't think that's possible? I'm assuming you are mistaken in explaining and that you actually have not upgraded the Securitrons as you cannot enter the bunker since you do not have the Platinum Chip due to a bug.

Assuming what I assumed is correct, Platinum Angel should be correct on the way to fix your bug of not having the Platinum Chip. According to the wiki page https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/The_House_Always_Wins_II, there is a bug where the player returns to the Lucky 38 and gives the Platinum chip to Mr. House before activating the Securitron army at the fort, the quest becomes stuck. Mr. House will send the player to activate the bots but he doesn't return the chip to the player. The method suggested to fix this is to add the Platinum Chip into your inventory with the console command console command "player.additem 1164fb 1".

also i think theres a bug where you can kill Caesar or the tower guards and you'll get the chip (even though it's not on them). But yeah upgrade them via the basement (ironically you use the platnium chip then you can activate the bots by putting the chip in the terminal deeper into the bunker). Then you give Mr. House the chip and all should be fine and dandy and can continue the quests (just make sure you get the other factions to side with him including the boomers to immeidately continue the house always wins MKIII quest erm...part 3).

I just recently did this. Caesar gives me the platinum chip so it might be on him.

You did not do that. Perhaps you watched the display of the Secutitron MkII while at The Strip?

I'm saying I upgraded the securitrons that were on the strip then I think a bug occured where mr house didnt give the chip back so now I cant open the bunker and upgrade the securitron army.
How do you try to open the hatch? Did you press the hatch or try the console on the side?
