A lot of my photos get rejected for being soft or unsharpened when My photo actually has the max amount of sharpening I can add? Does the contrast, exposure, shadows, whites, etc have an effect on the sharpness??

It depends - first thing is to ask for the quality you are uploading at.
If it's 1920, or 1600 - the standards are much higher and sharpness is one of the first things that is noticeable. Lower to 1280x720 unless the pictures are really good.
If you are uploading at that quality in the first place, and still get rejected:
Make sure you know how to use the "Detail" section in photoshop. Especially Masking, radius etc.
Here is how i learned: https://photographylife.com/how-to-p...s-in-lightroom
Finally, if neither of those work, it's because the photo is blurry or too soft to fix in the first place, and it won't be fixable.
Try to shoot at a higher shutter speed, or from a closer distance.

That's like asking "Can I get home on time? I'm driving the max amount of speed I can". No idea, since the max speed people can go will be different for each person, and I have no idea the distance you need to travel, so..
