It seems that whenever I activate the flashlight mod on ANY of my weapons I get a see-through, yet noticeable and obnoxious black square on my screen where the light of the flashlight would be but isn't. Any help would be much appreciated, I have already verified the game files and tried with V-Sync on and off.
Try updating your video card drivers. It might seem weird, but also see if your BIOS is up-to-date. When I first tried playing CS:GO, it would BSoD my computer and updating my BIOS fixed that. You never know.
Uhm no, never ever update the bios unless you really have too.
What are your specs?

I'm pretty sure a game crashing my computer is a good reason to update my BIOS. There's really no bad reason to update BIOS unless the newer version has a bug or something. Yes, it is a very delicate process and you can harm your computer if you do it wrong, but that's not a good enough reason to not update.

I run a modded bios personally. Its more updated then the last official and beta bioses for my board. Ofcourse my board has two bios chips so theres no risk of bad flash.

I have 18 years of I.T. Experience and 32 years of active gaming experience and I can tell you FIRST hand that you're wrong. NEVER update a BIOS because of a video game / software of a pc. EVEN if it "crashes" your pc.
Let me Explain.
Bios stands for "Basic input/output system". When you power your pc on, your BIOS takes control. Starting the power on self test and passing control over to the boot loader which in turn will boot your pc 's operating system. Unlike your Hard Drive or operating system the computers BIOS is stored on a chip on your mother board.
So you ask... Well WHEN SHOULD you update your bios..
Given that you probably will not see any improvements from updating your BIOS, you shouldn't update your BIOS unless you have a reason too. What reasons? well see below.
[B]Manufacturer mother board bugs: [/B]
If you are experiencing bugs that are fixed in a newer version of the BIOS for your computer (check the BIOS change log on the manufacturer’s website), you may be able to fix them by updating your BIOS. A manufacturer may even advise you to update your BIOS if you contact tech support and have a problem that has been fixed with an update.
[B]Hardware Support:[/B]
Some motherboard manufacturers add support for new CPUs, and potentially other hardware, in BIOS updates. If you want to upgrade your computer’s CPU to a new CPU – possibly one that wasn’t yet released when you purchased your motherboard – you may need to update the BIOS.
Remember "If you are not experiencing any bugs that have been fixed and don’t need the hardware support, don’t bother updating. You won’t get anything out of it except possible new problems."
Goes with the saying" If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

I understand all that, but I wasn't going to just not play CS:GO. I knew the risks and updating paid off. It worked afterward and nothing broke.
So... Uh, nobody else having the same probs?

Not by the sounds of it.
Have you tried re-installing rust, it could just be a small bug on your end
I would also update your DirectX. Unity engine uses DX almost exclusively and if it is not fully updated you can get strange results such as the one that you are experiencing.
