Sorry if this is not worded properly but I'm using the category widget and when I click a category the widget moves down in position and it's replaced by the Navigation block. Is there a way to only use the category widget? I'm styling the widget a specific way and want it to be persistent. Thank you for the great customer service you always offer Bob.

The "Navigation" Block is not a widget, it is a sideNAV block that is part of an action in a controller (and has behaviors based on if its on AMS Index or AMS Category pages). This block is actual template code as part of the xa_ams_index template as well as the xa_ams_category_view template. The Navigation block can easily be removed or commented out tho (simple template edits).
AMS does include a Widget Definition that allows you to create category navigation widgets, which was originally designed for use outside of AMS, like on Forum Home for example and for Modular Index, but can also be used on AMS sidenav and sidebar positions (altho, the behavior of category widget is NOT the same as the behavior of the more complex Navigation sidenav block, especially on Category Pages).

Oh that makes sense. I thought the Category Widget was made specifically for use in AMS Modular. So when I had it active it became redundant once a category was selected. I think explaining what I'm trying to accomplish would be better. I want the categories on the left side but I want them to not have a BG or a Header. I have a style made specifically for AMS BTW so I'm not concerned about making any changes to the style that impacts other lists, nav, etc. Thanks.
You'd have to edit the 'xa_ams_widget_category_nav' template to remove the header (line 3) as there are no unique classes that you can target to hide via CSS (altho, you can add your OWN classes)
I am using Core XF classes (block, block-container, block-header, block-body) as well as the simple_category_list macro, which is core XF design (XFRM and XFMG both use the same macro).
Adding your own classes and then using those classes with ! to override core XF would probably do the trick.

Both use the same Core XF CSS classes.
If it's the WIDGET, you need to edit the widget template.
If it's the Navigation SideNAV block, that is much more complicated as its using the xf:sidenav template tag (which is a wrapper that use Core XF CSS) as well as a macro (and modifying a macro effects everything that uses it).
You will need to comment out the Navigation Block in the sidenav in several templates.
Example, at the end of the xa_ams_category_view template, you are removing the <xf: page 'sideNavTitle' option and the sidenav block just like on AMS Index. It will be the same in all of the above templates.
Also, pay no attention to the widget position directly above the highlighted text, that is something NEW in the next release to display widgets below the article list.
