Thanks for the response Daniel! As mentioned in the main post, the regular 4K recordings look good (camera and memory card). I haven't been able to test it on a TV unfortunately, since I don't currently own one.

What are you using to input into your computer? Does your capture card say explicitly that it supports 4K (and what frame rates and subsampling, I believe G7 outputs 8-bit 4:2:2 over HDMI, although it only records 8-bit 4:2:0). Also check your microhdmi adapter and cable, 4K HDMI can be very fiddly (I tried on my GX85 on my TV and connection can drop easily on a loose connection). You need at minimum something compatible with "High Speed HDMI".

As others mentioned, the easier test would be to try on a 4K TV or monitor just to make sure it's not your capture card or OBS set up.

I would also check if you have any settings set for whichever mode you switch into for the 4K (like Cinelike-D for example).
