Vim doesn't properly highlight yaml unless using hard tabs (self.vim)

Hello!

I'm having an issue in Vim where it will not do syntax highlighting unless using hard tabs. I prefer hard tabs, but they aren't valid yaml and I get yelled at when I try and import the file in python.

With proper spaces

With hard tabs

Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

Thanks!

EDIT: This is confusing. I've just discovered that if I run set ft? it shows filetype=yaml. If I then run set ft=yaml the syntax highlighting works correctly??? That doesn't make any sense.
