If the pickups are too close to the strings the magnets could be stealing the vibration, dampening it. Otherwise, it's a bridge height/radius settings which a proper pro setup would sort out. In so doing any fret or neck angle issues could be addressed. In the extreme a "flat and recrown" with a sanding beam and crowning files, allowing the other settings to be brought into conformity. Watch Dave of Daves World of Fun Stuff as he sets up a Telecaster, it will clue you into the steps.
Could be the saddle slots buzzing, or needing a fret dressing/level. Could also be another part that is buzzing. Just take it to a local guitar repair technician they'll set you up right.
I will note the action is not abnormally low, so I don't think that is the problem. I like to adjust my guitars so I can play slide comfortably and regular fretted notes. So it's not too high and not too low right now.
You may want to check it with a fret rocker, it could possibly need a fresh leveling or dressing.
Is it exclusive to when you plug it in? You may be playing at too low of a volume with no treble bleed circuit, try cranking it up a bit to see if it’s the same issue. If it’s both acoustically and plugged in it could be a fret issue.
Last thing it could be is just some fresh strings, don’t know if you have new ones or old ones on there.
Hope one of these helps brother, good luck!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I thought it may be a quick fix but I think it just needs a proper set up.
This may sound weird but be certain that your truss rod isn't a bit loose,

Yeah it’s acoustically too and I put some fresh strings on it cuz I thought that may help as well and it sounds the same. Thanks!
Did you change the strings? They could just be dead. Especially if it was a display model.
Yeah new strings, that was one of the first things I thought to do.
Did you solve this problem?
