Nevermind, I figured it out.
For MongoDB Compass users (Jan 2021), you need to go to:
-Fill in connection fields individually
-Select the More Options tab
-Under the options of SSH tunnel, select Use Password
-Your host name is your MongoDB Droplet IP
-Tunnel Port 22
-Your Username is root
-Your password is whatever you set to be your DB password.
Hope this helps!
