Vim doesn't properly highlight yaml unless using hard tabs

Hello! I'm having an issue in Vim where it will not do syntax highlighting unless using hard tabs. I prefer hard tabs, but they aren't valid yaml and I get yelled at when I try and import the file in python.   Does anyone know how I can resolve this? Thanks! EDIT: This is confusing. I've just discovered that if I run `set ft?` it shows `filetype=yaml`. If I then run `set ft=yaml` the syntax highlighting works correctly??? That doesn't make any sense.
