...On installation, I was given a 24 word seed.
I tried to create the same wallet in electrum to see if i could control the BTC in the Peach lightning wallet through electrum. I tried opening a wallet using all 3 paths (legacy, segwit, Bech32) with the seed...
What were the exact steps you tried? Were you just using "File -> New\Restore -> Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> [ENTER SEED] -> Next"?
or did you explicitly select the "BIP39 seed" option during the wallet setup?

Can anyone explain why? Do they use different seed words when generating lightning wallets?
Fairly sure it is the "standard" BIP39 wordlist.
I'm not aware of another way to create a previously made wallet other than "File -> New\Restore -> Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> [ENTER SEED] -> Next"?, so that's what I did. After inputting the 24 words, the only way to continue is either to check the BIP-39 box, or to extend the word list.
Interestingly, I tried to go through the process again to see if I missed anything. After inputting the 24 words and checking BIP39 box and pressing OK, this time I noticed the words "BIP 39 (checksum:failed)" to the left of the OPTIONS button (these words weren't in red or some other color, just regular black letters).
So maybe the peach wallet creators used something besides a BIP 39 word list (same thing electrum does)
