I am writing a class file for a template with very specific requirements. One of those requirements is that a section title must be bolded, centered, and be written in single-spacing with a single-spaced blank line before and after the section label. The rest of the document must be double spaced.

The problem I am having is that for some reason the singlespace command in the setspace package seems to generate a weird amount of extra space at the top of the section command... but only when using the centercommand in the titlesec format. Moreover, I can't seem to get subsection numbers included in the subsection label (in the actual text) whenever the label is not center aligned... although the Table of Contents seems to have them.

To be clear, the section should be centered and bolded, whereas the subsection and subsubsection should be left aligned and bolded. All the section and subsection types should be singlespaced with a single space white blank line before and after the label, and the rest of the document needs to be double spaced.

Here is my MWE in which I think I can get everything except the subsection and subsubsection numbers in the labels themselves... but I have no earthly idea what I'm missing to make those numbers appear. It appears to have to do with using some type of left alignment instead of center alignment, but I haven't a clue as to why?

%% center command give me the section in-line numbering, but the vertical spacing is off if I use singlespace... but not if I use realSingleSpace?

%% The other commands eg raggedright or filright don't give numbers, but don't throw off spacing either, even with singlespace?
