I’m not sure why my email is going to gmail spam. I have been trying to fix this issue for about three days now. I have a valid RDNS , MX and SPF record. The full email headers are show below. I’m not sure what I am missing.

SpamAssassin is perfectly fine with the email. Give it a score of zero for spam (i.e. it can’t find any reason why this should be spam).
The only thing I could find is that the sender is different than what you said. In the headers I get
Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: best guess record for domain of transitioning contact@pitchbig.removethis.com does not designate 173.0.59.100 as permitted sender) client-ip=173.0.59.100;
I think my problem is that my SPF is wrong, but I don’t know why. I am using tinydns and i’ve tried a bunch of combinations but my hearder is now displaying.
