Nikon HDMI output looks more contrasty than internal recording

I have a Nikon D750 and recently bought a video capture card and HDMI cable to be able to record directly into my Mac. The issue I'm having is that the footage has less detail in the shadows and highlights, is more contrasty and more saturated than the footage recoded to the internal card. I use the flat profile and am getting more detail with the compressed internal recording than I am with the 10 bit Prores 422 footage. I tried recording both with QuickTime and OBS and have had the same results. Am I missing something or is my video capture card messing with the footage? I have attached a screenshot below where you can clearly see the difference. I need to sort this out urgently so any help would be great.
